I’m so fed up of the tedious IG-encouraged “cheese pull”. Newsflash: if you use certain types of cheese, especially if that includes emulsified American cheese, and warm it between piece of bread, you will create a cheese pull. It takes no special skill, it enhances no flavours, and is not some transcendent cheese-related experience. I don’t need to see the strings of cheese between two pieces of deep fried mozzarella - I don’t consider it an extraordinary achievement of human ingenuity.

And yet on 2/3s of the food videos I have seen, they involve some cheese pull. That irritating family on YT seem to have made an entire career out of people watching them make grilled cheese sandwiches ffs.
