You would never have been able to afford to eat this during rationing, that's an entire family's cheese allowance for a week.

TBH, onion sandwich is delicious. Never tried with cheese tho
(Just sliced onion and a lil bit of oil (I use soy oil because it's what we use, and it's cheap here, but I guess olive oil may work) in a baguette. You can add a pinch of salt or pepper if you want)

Did you miss the part where Churchill is dead?!
He's burning in hell. I'm savoring a delicious onion sandwich in celebration. What could be better?
A hint of brown mustard?
American here. Why is Churchill burning in hell? He lead your country through WWII and D-Day.
........wait. Are you a nazi supporter?
He did do that, but was also big racist. Not nearly as motivated as Hitler, but similar viewpoints.
Also helped create the UN, welfare state and a minimum wage.
Probably referencing this, and similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943

You should try a Hemingway sandwich. It's peanut butter and a slice of onion on bread. It is surprisingly delicious, savory, sweet, nutty...
Come on now, OP. What ever other criticism you may level at that sandwich, you can't say that cheese and raw onion is lacking in flavour.
You do have a point. It certainly would make the eyes water. Really great to eat before a date so she knows you take gourmet food seriously.
Just gotta grill that shit and everyone will be drooling for it
I would assume that the texture of the onion is part of the appeal. So if you grill it you've got to either toast the bread or add a few chips to get that crunch.
If you toast it in an oven or grill it in a pan just slightly, the onion will still be crunchy and so will the bread. You’re not caramelizing the onions.
Cheese and onion is a pretty strong flavor.
Deliciously so.
Is it healthy? No.
But does it taste good? Also no.
I don't know onions are tasty, cheese is tasty, I don't see how this isn't tasty.
I would eat that. Who doesn't like cheese or onions?
If you have the opportunity, consider Limburger with onion on a nice rye bread

Only an American would think a slab of cheddar would be tasteless.
I like how you look at a picture of a dude eating a raw onion and a slab of cheese on a roll and think "fucking Americans."
Yawn yawn yawn, get new material Lemmy.
And you think "brittish food bad and bland" is some kind of revolutionary humour here?

Emphasis on the “slab”. I add a cheese slice to my sandwich and feel indulgent.

Don’t get high on your own supply? 🤷
9/10 for ingredients
2/10 for prep/cooking
Cut that onion in half to make 2 disks, then quarter those, add just enough water to steam, cover and cook until soft or the water steams away, add butter and sautee until the onions are medium brown. Cube the cheese and add to the onions, stir until melted, add a pinch of flour, maybe a crushed and minced clove of garlic and cook for another minute, salt and pepper to taste. Butter and toast the inside of the roll spread the cheese and onion mixture.
Consider taking an antacid if you can't handle garlic and onion.

The Americans are not going to like what I am about to say: Beans on Toast is a great meal.

A good bun. A tasty onion. Flavourful cheese. What's not to like? If it was an American factory bread-like bun with American Cheese, the onion might still make it edible.
Make that into a grilled cheese and you have an epic sandwich.
I tried one the last time this tired low rent meme came through. It was okay. I had no problem eating it.
What's Leicester?
In this context: cheese.
