Monica's 1st Thanksgiving as a host. She is only happy to make everyones dreams come true. And here she comes with Chandler's bag of holiday snacks, naming one after another:
- Chandler, got your traditional holiday feast. Tomato soup, grilled-cheese fixings and a family-size bag of Funyuns.
So I found out what tomato soup and Funyuns are, but I can't get what is "grilled-cheese fixings". What is it like? Google doesn't give me any picture!
Fixings are side dishes. For grilled cheese they usually are onions, cucumbers, lettuce & other vegetables -http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/YHmXTp3TiTzuNWkGZYmHow?select=rV2Hj-0fxH-uZWC9dDcBFw#rV2Hj-0fxH-uZWC9dDcBFw
ReplyDeletefixings - the necessary ingredients.
DeleteHey, thanks, Marina! If a side dish called fixings, so I assume it should derive from something like "fix the dish by putting together main dish and the side one".
DeleteAnd Loay, thank you for calling me back to this blog after a year break.
Sorry to contradict Marina, but grilled cheese (at least in the US) is typically just cheese and bread, grilled so the bread becomes golden and toasted and the cheese melts.
DeleteTomato is a somewhat common addition, and you can really add anything else you want, but the basic grilled cheese is just cheese.
Fixin's is often how it's written/said. It's either the necessary ingredients for something (as it is here) or a collection of toppings and the like ("burger fixins" could be considered the patty and the bun, but also the lettuce, tomato, cheese, and pickles, none of which are required, but are usual burger ingredients). In this case, simply the ingredients needed for a grilled cheese: cheese and bread (and butter).
