Mousetraps and Toasties? Tell me more!

It's grilled cheese on toast.

Mousetraps 1 slice
Toastie sandwich.

Add whatever toppings to cheese and grill it. Pizza topping, sauces, tomato, onion, bacon, salami whatever.

We put the bread in the toaster for half a cycle.

Another NZ variant. Cheese rolls.
 

Tonight, we’re doing a hot dog buffet. As in, I’m cooking the dogs & toasting (and maybe buttering) the buns, but putting out the chili, cheese, relishes and all other potential toppings & condiments out to let everyone make their own.

Never really caught on here. Hotdogs are more similar to corn dogs.

Personally, I prefer other sausages, but a request was made and Dad brought home a 24 pack of Ballparks.

I did mine with brown mustard, BBQ sauce, American cheese, pickled jalapeños and sauerkraut. Made ‘em disappear like David Copperfield.

My dessert was a mix of maraschino cherries, pecans, orange-blossom honey and Greek yogurt.

Sounds good. We had some basic ones in a gas station in the 90s for $1 or $2.

Mustard, sweet chilli, relish were the toppings.

Fundraisers here are often sausage sizzles. Slice of buttered bread, sausage, grilled onions and sauce. Maybe mustard.

Do Americans have saveloys? They're battered on a stick here that's a hot dog.

No saveloys as such in common distribution, but there’s all kinds of cuisines in the USA, so I would be surprised to find something like thrm. I mean, in the South, the corny dogs are pretty common. And state fairs- especially the one here in Texas- are infamous for culinary experiments.

Pigs in a blanket, kolaches, pepperoni rolls and other sausage-stuffed breads are common.

There’s a new cooking series on PBS called Somewhere South, and the first episode “American as hand pie” details all kinds of hand pies, including some of the ones I mentioned.

One topping I’ve found that works with almost any savory sausage is Lebanese garlic spread, At its simplest, it’s raw garlic emulsified in vegetable oil, with a bit of salt and/or pepper to taste. (I don’t season mine at all.). The creamy texture plus the bite of the garlic can be a revelation.
 

That sounds like a more aggro version of aioli, or at least in the ballbark. Definitely sounds as though it'd be a winner on sausage.
