White cheddar is not sharper because it's white. It's white because there is no annatto used for coloring. Sharpness is determined by age and bacteria.

しんたろうシェフの日本のピザトーストにそうそう～！と思いました。とても日本だけですね。I love chef Shintaro's Pizza toast. It's very only in Japan we can see!
もちろんどの国のお料理も溜め息が出るのほ美味しそう！Of, course every dish is so jar down level yummy!
今私はニュージーランドに住んでいるのですがグリルチーズと言えばチーズスティックですね！ I'm in New Zealand now so NZ's one would be cheese stick! Yummy!

ha! i still prefer my instant grilled cheese recipe. throw two slices of bread into toaster. throw a chunk of cheddar into a bowl for a quick nuke in the microwave. pour molten cheese onto a slice of toast and promptly cover with other slice of toast. quick, easy, and almost idiot proof. if you burn yourself on molten cheese that's on you, it is for eating not wearing. ideally served with a side of ketchup and a dill pickle spear or two.

Mexico: I didn’t understand the task, so I’ll make you a quesadilla
@HP_not의사들이 좋아하는 요리법인가?
기름 줄줄 느껴지네.
pro tip: use mayo on the outside of ur bread when grilling. sooo yummyyyy
@qyuryyusytThis American dude is doing too much. 2 Kraft singles on some white bread grill it in butter.
@calebheney302Butter sucks for grilled cheese use mayo it’s the only way
@justinharris3976American chef butchered it, where did you find this clown.
@justinharris3976I think what disappointed me about this video I was hoping for what grilled cheese sandwiches were as we were kids, but most, not all, did variations, not a true version of what we ate as a kid. I'm American, wtf was that sandwich? That was no where close. The French version felt closer using white bread.
@VictorWollesen'10 countries make grilled cheese'
And yet only 2 countries make an actual grilled cheese while the others literally have no resemblance xD
The Algeria lady always brings the dishes that interest me the most.
@luccalukjanenkoTurks almost never eat grilled cheese with just cheese. We mostly put sucuk in our sandwich, that is a Turkish spicy garlic sausage
@Atilla33America starts by frying the cheese
@azraphonChina pissed me off
@pishusansI had to 👎🏽 this video, sorry.
@sharonDncTo me, if you add slices of meat, it's not grilled cheese.
@sharonDncI'm.confused why Nigeria was included for grilled CHEESE, but offered NO CHEESE?? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
@sharonDncThe Turkish one is how we make it in the UK too, except we'd usually use a much a more stronger cheese, like a mature cheddar.
@The-FishkeeperGeef me gewoon een tosti
@BeeryGamerSo, mostly not grilled cheese then.
@LymanTaiste🌛🌜
@felicitytoadThis is not all grilled cheese. Pick accurately next time. Epicurious.
@SymphoniasStoriesThey make em at night
@loosenooseThat Algerian version looks great, it's like a grilled cheese pastry.
@keshhan6412We have Welsh rabbit in the UK. Mm. Of course, there's plenty to drool over here, too!
@stephenspackman5573What's a point of making a grilled cheese video if half of these are NOT grilled cheeses? China is the worst offender: no bread nor cheese! Ecuador is second worst: the chef made a nice Ecuadorian papa rellena, not a grilled cheese. Nigerian grilled sandwich didn't have cheese, hence cannot be grilled CHEESE, can it? Mexico and Algeria barely pass the definition. Why? Why?
@mvoronenkoI ve developed lactose intolerance by the end of the video. And I don’t regret it.
@ignaciosaraviatoledo6337Melt butter in pan use hands get both sides soak in there dont need a brush keep it real
@GinaLewis-e5xReally most don't use enough butter can't stand inside not fried,you fry both sides cheese melt fast
@GinaLewis-e5xButter and fry both sides of bread dont skimp on butter other than that any cheese except imitation cuz it won't melt
@GinaLewis-e5xtry peanut butter and jelly dunked in chocolate milk or hot chocolate your welcome
@dablah4253Let's give it up for butter y'all ❤️❤️
@robertmarshalljr3750The Nigeian street food remind me of how i used to wake up and scramble some eggs with cheese and put them on some bread and then toast them for my mom. Great breakfast❤
The Chinese dish look like Mazzerella sticks except in breakfast form. Wouldn't mind trying it diped in something like syrup or something.
My comedy option is GGC - Ghetto Grilled Cheese. Lightly toast some bread slices, spread a thin layer of butter on both sides, then add your various cheese mixes. I like using gruyere, mild/sharp cheddar & smoked gouda for both the textures & flavors I want. After toasting & buttering, put all the filling in & microwave it for around 35-45 seconds so it doesn't ooze out too much or get dry/burnt. I only do this when I'm too lazy to pull out cookware, which is like 80% of the time 😂
@tomferguson9250"instead of a grilled cheese, I'm going to make a..." skip. read the room, girl.
@robertbloom7279Cheddar is not a processed cheese by anyone's definition. Some assume that pre-shredding cheddar makes it "processed", but even the anti-clump additives it's coated in doesn't make it any less real cheddar. Which has always been a real cheese. If your Japanese cheddar is a processed cheese, then you're misusing the word cheddar.
@enkephalin07I wish they did canada 🇨🇦 everyones food looks tasty, i feel canadian cusine gets lumped into usa cusine. It really isnt, salmon bake grill cheese, maple bacon and tomato soup, poutine style, California roll cheeser! Soo so many
@Basi-chanThe Algerian one looks amazing....
@smurfvegaGot some really great tips and ideas here! I love this format, great idea
@vikkischaffer2301Is it me, but isn't grilled cheese and a melt (with meat) 2 different dishes?
@Ugogrrl2American dude, cmon. Ain't nobody doing all that to make a grilled cheese. It's some white bread, margarine, and cheese. If you're feelin fancy you might use butter and two cheeses.
@mimcduffee86Omg the Ecuadorian one looks so interesting!
@thenightingalesingerThere's no cheese in the Chinese version! 😢
