Cheese rolls are very much an iconic treat here in NZ. School groups sell them frozen in bags as fundraisers, and you will often see a scout troop or local kids rugby club cooking them on a grill in front of the local hardware store as a fundraiser. There are nationwide competitions for cafes to be named the place to get “The Best Cheese Roll”.
yea i'm afraid that Aotearoa-NZ have really dropped the ball if they're not already taking the opportunity to put pickled or fermented things *inside* of these, especially spicy pickles/ferments. the basic cheese roll isn't really attracting me more than the basic grilled cheese, but kimchi cheese roll or even just a hot banana pepper cheese roll is another story.
What's not to love? I would instantly remix this in a skillet and make a grilled cheese roll-up... oh, snap! I just did it for lunch! It came out a bit more "taco" than "taquito" but it is lovely! I actually did have onion soup mix that I was saving for ranch dressing... easy enough. And the canned milk was leftover from holiday baking. I think it's kismet. Or as they say in New Zealand, whakapapa! Delish with a chippy! Good for when you knackered and don't feel like cooking, or if you pack a sad and just want to comfort food down on the bach. Of course Cambrian chili is always a tight cobber with grilled cheese!
it's basically French Onion Soup (especially if you use Gruyere cheese). Onion soup topped with toast rounds and melted Gruyere over that is the classic. Strain out most of the liquid and roll it up and it probably wouldn't be any less messy😃 Sounds delicious!
NZ has a big savory pie scene (like pot pies). Not just traditional ones, but some inspired by international cuisines like Indian, Thai. etc. One of my favorite things there was to buy one and take it with me in my pack while hiking or sightseeing. Then eating it by hand trailside or at a park midafternoon. Love a good sandwich, but those pies were something special too.
One of those sandwiches where there’s nothing at all wrong with it, sounds good, and yet it does make me want to double check they’re doing all good mentally. Lil bit depression meal vibes
I think some Kaitaia Fire sauce could work with this one. I'm not super well versed with New Zealand's hot sauce landscape, but the stuff's a favorite of mine.
The look of the spread reminds me of Heinz Toast Toppers, came in a can, spread it on toast and put under the grill for a few minutes though sure this is far superior
Or as we in New Zealand call it-the West Island. Old joke-Kiwi flies into Australia, fronts up to the Immigration desk. Officer asks him if he has any criminal convictions. Kiwi says nah, mate, I didn’t realize that was still a requirement.
Marmite is pretty common, I think. Though, I'm from the North Island, and these are firmly a Southland thing, so I've never actually had or seen one, and I could be totally wrong lol
Do you plan these far enough in advance, where you cuold publish a shopping list of ingredients for the month, so we can "play along at home"? I would love to do a weekly sandwich from your list, and the fun part would be trying to guess ahead of time which ones will be good and which ones will go in the bin :)

Cheese and bread always delish
Well, in Southland at least. I've never seen them here in the North Island lol
@ Huh, I didn’t realize that, I’ve always lived on the South Island.
@leslieherring381 yeah, it's one of the few regional dishes in the country.
Cheese and pickle flavour together will never not be delicious. Maybe if you flatten the bread with a rolling pin, it would roll up more easily.
I was going to say this.
my thought exactly

And also remove the crusts.
We're getting dangerously close to reinventing a tortilla, here.

You're on a roll with international sandwiches!
Crumby joke 😁

Perfect plus-up, Barry!

Some capers chopped up and added to the mix along with some minced onion might cut through the richness. And flattening the bread before hand.
Kosher dills for me. Thanks Barry. 👍👍
That's a great looking sandwich! Sounds like it would taste amazing.
Would love to see a sandwich be plus-ed up with Cholula! I feel like I’ve seen hot sauce used as a plus up, but never Cholula.
NEW ZEALAND MENTIONED
Barry's on a roll!
GJ, NZ. This one looks good.
Keep the cheese rolling!😊
this needed the air fryer treatment.
I think some Kaitaia Fire sauce could work with this one. I'm not super well versed with New Zealand's hot sauce landscape, but the stuff's a favorite of mine.
I swear that's exactly what I thought it needed ❤
Hmm...I think I'd like to try this rolled in a pizza dough or rolled in a tube of crescent rolls (layed out in a single sheet), then baked.
I think that is an excellent suggestion.
Very nice one! Perfectly plussed up with a jalapeno pickly popper.
Gonna start calling it shreddar cheese from now on.
Ninja Turtles missed an opportunity to collab with Kraft on that one back in the day haha

Dipped in tomato soup would be amazing?
this is an absurdly wonderful innovation for the tomato soup community
That looks delicious and the crunch sounded delicious. Now we just need smellavision.
Ahhh New Zealand….the Australia of Australia
What the hell does that mean?
Nah, mate. New Zealand is the New Zealand of Australia.
Or as we in New Zealand call it-the West Island. Old joke-Kiwi flies into Australia, fronts up to the Immigration desk. Officer asks him if he has any criminal convictions. Kiwi says nah, mate, I didn’t realize that was still a requirement.
Does anyone know where to get the single bread slicer at? Or brands? Or anything about it? Thanks in advance.
Perfect plus up 👍🏻
yeah man i'd like ten of those right now please
So it's a quesa-toasta-rolla-dilla. Nice!
RUclips is offering to translate that to English for me! 😂
Pickled jalapenos are always a good idea.
This deserves a second chance. Maybe a little less milk, dash of paprika for color. Flatten the bread so it rolls more smoothly.
Have there been any pickley-pops this year?
Any particular New Zealandish plus-ups we could look out for?
Marmite is pretty common, I think. Though, I'm from the North Island, and these are firmly a Southland thing, so I've never actually had or seen one, and I could be totally wrong lol
Sounds so good need to try I t

Next the NZ asparagus roll!
I love onions but onion soup mix always repeats on me ? 1:45
I love shedder cheese.
So I think a flat bread of some sort would be the perfect change to this, not a Tortilla, that's too thin, but...... maybe a thin Naan bread?
I'm try this wit hot sauce.
Evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk are two VERY different things. It seems like maybe you also found out the hard way haha?
Seems kind of like someone tried to remember how to make Welsh Rarebit while high, which given that this is from New Zealand makes a lot of sense.
Evil Sandwiches of History: we're going to plus this up with vegemite
You should have plussed that up with French onion soup lol
Mmm... Lembas bread
The premonition worked twice in a row
Maybe in some nan, or a tortilla?
That looks like stoner food, except stoners didn't think it up.
Hi
But are jalapenos indigenous to NZ? I challenge you to think about this in your plus ups.
😋😋🤤🤤
Looks tasty! I liked the “plus up.”
Get rid of the roll, just put another slice of toast on top
So, a grilled cheese sandwich? 😅
Am I bet that’s good
Diapers?
SECOND!!!!!!!!
Rye toast is far more malleable than other breads......just saying.
Work on your rolling skills 💨
