  I’d argue the hamburger is named for the patty, not the toppings. I can have a naked hamburger, just the burger between bread. 
  Nothing is stopping the cheese from becoming grilled; the name is still accurate.
context: I guess butter isn't allowed >
  
  Imo, butter or mayo on the bread in order to toast it is more of the cooking method vs an additional ingredient in the sandwich. >
  
  MAYO?!
  Not judging, but genuinely curious because I’ve never heard of this! 😃 Before or after it’s cooked? What does it do? >
  
  Mayo is sometimes used instead of butter for outside the bread to fry. I haven't yet tried it, but I've seen it done. It gives the bread a good crisp. >
  
  Right.  Just cheese.  Straight cheese.  If you put it between two slices of bread it's no longer a grilled cheese, it's a grilled bread and cheese.
  Calling things by the primary ingredient is not exactly all that weird. >
  
  
  it's no longer a grilled cheese, it's a grilled bread and cheese.
  
  If we're gonna be technically correct about this, it's a fried-bread-and-grilled-cheese.
  'Grilled cheese [sandwich]'' is not parsed as 'Cheese sandwich which is grilled' but rather 'sandwich primarily containing cheese which is grilled'. The bread is fried and the dry heat it transfers grills the cheese. >
  
  And if you put anything other than a hamburger patty on a bun, it's no longer a burger. >
  
  Not at all the same thing. >
  
  Where’s the line? How can adding ingredients in 1 sandwich change the name, but the same ingredients to the other not?
