Is a "toasted" cheese sandwich made differently than a "toastie"?
When asked a colleague here what a sandwich with cheese which was
heated to melt the cheese was, he said "melted" cheese, but he
describe the method of cooking as you describe the "toastie" (his
mother used a waffle iron with plates installed over or instead of
the waffle plates).
