No, not a dumb Pom. You've just never had the wonders of a cheese columbo.
So, there is this deli where I used to live on the other side of the world called Coppola's. Being a deli, they make sandwiches, hoagies, grinders, subs - whatever you want to call them. My favorite menu item from there is the Cheese Columbo. I like it with eggplant (aubergine).
They take this yummy roll, split it, warm it a little on the grill, in the meantime they have the cheese on the grill where they are melting/toasting it into a nice thick layer. Once it reaches the perfect gooey, slightly crispy, but not burnt doneness, they put it on the roll, layer on roasted eggplant and sweet peppers and voila! ooey gooey cheese surrounding yummy eggplant and peppers. SCRUMPTIOUS!
Definitely not a dodgy eyed detective covered in cheese. I've never seen it anywhere else and of course today I really want one. I guess I could try my hand at concocting it myself, but I never have any luck toasting cheese. I usually end up with an unedible burnt glob.
That has just made me hungry! It is only 11.15am hre, so far too early for lunch :(
You know what is good? Microwaved bread. Nuke it for 20 - 30 seconds and it goes all warm and doughy. I discovered this once when I over nuked a loaf of frozen bread, now I do it regularly.
I shall attempt this warm and doughy bread thing you speak of. This will either raise or lower my opinion of you. although, I'm not sure that it can get lower. ;P
