A man wanted just two slices of cheese on his sandwich, so when his wife used three slices in his grilled cheese sandwich, he became irate.

Angered at the sight of all the extra cheesiness, James DePaola became agitated and violent, yelling at the woman, Michele DePaola. According to WSB-TV, DePaola then ripped the landline out of the wall so his wife couldn’t call the police and reportedly screamed at her intensely. The couple’s 12-year old daughter who witnessed the incident called the police to the scene, according to Athens-Clarke County police.

James DePaola was charged with obstruction of a 911 call and criminal trespass/damage to property over what the police now refer to as “the grilled cheese incident”. DePaola has a history of “abusive behavior,” and was often “excessively critical and controlling of day to day things in life” like sandwiches, apparently.

This man is not a true American, as there is no such thing as a “too cheesey” grilled cheese.

The problem actually lies in the “cheese” slices. THEY AREN’T CHEESE .

I’d be pretty irate if I got served that stuff in a cafe.

I’m generally not a fan of the stuff, but one of the few places American “cheese” is good is a grilled cheese sandwich.

I’d still prefer a sharp cheddar myself, but American is acceptable.

You are correct, it’s “pasteurized processed cheese product,” but for brevity most of us just call it cheese.

One of the many things I do not miss from living in the US is the range of ersatz foods which have replaced the real thing in the popular market.

I mean they’re not pure cheese but they definitely contain real cheese. As fun as it was watching Nile Blue mess around, the recipe to make fancy versions of American cheese with fancy cheese (that is practical to do at home) has been known for a long time.

I disagree. I think almost are all too cheesy. I’m serious. This is why I don’t really eat grilled cheese.

Tucker Carlson: “Many people are saying he isn’t an actual American. If not, who is he? Is he a Russian spy? And if so would he like to come over to my home to discuss Putin’s dreamy eyes and masculine physique? I am just asking questions here.”

Uh are you saying crime doesn’t exist where capitalism doesn’t exist? Cause it kind of sounds like you might be. Hard to tell just from text alone

Crime is a term tied to legality, a construct that originated from coercive hierarchies. Crime has existed ever since coercive hierarchies have existed.

Capitalism dominates our societies at a global scale. Our values and belief systems, the way we interact with one another, even down to the food we eat - are all influenced and dominated by capitalism.

We have the capacity to diverge from viewing capitalism as a tool that’s considered legitimate for our collective liberation. The first step to realizing this capacity is acknowledging capitalism’s hold over our decision making.

How the hell can a grilled cheese sandwich be too cheesy? Was it just cheese? Like no bread, but just cheese? Because even that doesn’t seem like too much cheese to me.

If you’re ever at a decent greek restaurant get the saganaki. It’s a salty fried sheep cheese and it’s one of the most glorious things to exist.

No. Two pieces of thick cut texas toast, fried one side each in the fat of two pieces of bacon, which are then inserted with jalapenos and a lot real good swiss type cheese, the fried sides to the inside, and fried till done both sides. Also paint the bread with mayonnaise and garlic before you start, both sides.
