or for all you weird people that just call them steak and cheese sandwiches...what type of cheese you puttin on there?
I expressed my disdain to the wiz earlier today. American or mozzarella. Provolone is good too. But yellow government cheese that's made into a paste before you even get it? Not even once.
[quote name='"RandomThoughts"']What is this thing you call a cheesesteak then?[/quote] The proper name of a steak n cheese sandwich?
[quote name='"RandomThoughts"']So a sandwich, with just steak and cheese in it? How's it served, is the steak intact or sliced?[/quote] You've never had a cheesesteak? Sliced thin. Grilled usually. And served with onion and peppers.
Yeah, I don't think it's really a thing here (Australia) I've had steak sandwiches? Every corner take-away store has those here. They're like grilled (rather flat) sandwich steak usually kept intact, some cooked onion, tomato, lettuce. Some places serve it with a slice of beetroot. You can get a "with the lot" which has bacon, eggs, and sometimes pineapple. Served on grilled/toasted bread, bbq/tomato sauce. Cheese is usually optional. Others kind've more "upmarket" cafes will put it in turkish bread or focaccia, and have something more like a piece of rump steak on there, mustard of choice, sliced pickles, eggplant, snow-pea sprouts, rocket and grilled capsicum type things. Probably slightly better cheeses would be served with these. Though yeah I think overall we're talking about something pretty different. The only thing that's coming to mind when I hear "cheesesteak" is like the thing that subway does?

It's basically thin steak, cheese, and pepper and onions on a larger roll or steak bun. Might be similar to the subway thing. Never had it so I don't know for sure. But fast food chains are different from country to country depending on the specific palette of her country, so even if I had it before it would be hard to say for you.
Hm, looks nice. I'd probably go a bit overboard, add extra capsicum (thats peppers right?) and olives, spanish onion. For cheese...I would make a mixture of something smoothe and creamy like danish fetta, something sharp like an aged cheddar and something melty and grillable like a bocconcini shredded over all that. If I wanted something a little different, I'd pre-make a bechamel with some thyme, gruiyere and blue stilton. - Pour that onto there with some grilled mushrooms. Now I kind've want to make one of these. Yep. and Yep. They've very "salad-y" these steak sandwiches. It works pretty well though. Kind've like yknow how you have pickles with some sandwiches? Same deal, but purple.
Yeah, see the problem with Philly Cheesesteak is that either the cheese is fake or the steak is fake. And i mean if you go somewhere and pay for quality then by all means but..Any other scenario i'd rather eat giant fuckin' carrot than Cheesesteak, based on personal experience alone. But i digress; American.
