sounds like the relish was so bad that it went back in time and made your face swell up

May I suggest an alternative for next time you make the sandwich, and leave the plastic wrapping on the cheese and eating it thusly?

Perhaps grilling it would enhance the experience.

Read many posts already this morning so cannot recall who to credit for this word, but it would seemingly apply to this thing you did, hope you don't suffer additional side effects!

Visceral, as in I had to control my gag response. You are still the greatest!

Retched while reading, and I think I'm going to need to have the memory of this article exorcised.

Did you consider replacing the relish with another slice of cheese, and the jelly with 18 more slices of cheese?

Honestly you (and Davida) are an absolute national treasure. Thanks for being your weird ass selves and giving joy to me and my family 😂

We love being a whole family experience. Maybe at the expense of our own taste buds, but these are simply physical sacrifices we must make.

I was just talking about how much harder it seems to unwrap those cheese product slices these days. Here we all thought modernity would be the answer to our problems.

I'm thoroughly unsurprised you didn't remember it wrong. This sandwich should be illegal by law as it is objectively gross. I'm upset

I did my job then. I think.

This reminds me of my own childhood adventures with Kraft individually wrapped American cheese slices™ and squishy Wonder Bread(also ™) although my favorite weird combo was mayo on both pieces of bread each topped with a cheese slice and broiled in the toaster oven until brown bubbles formed. Chef’s kiss 👌🏽

Not a fan of relish, and I think I gag when you combined all three together. Jelly and American cheese are great elsewhere but not together with disgusting relish..lol..great article as usual :)
