Just a taste/texture preference. Cheese tends to warm and soften and be
more flavorful, the bread is toasted on the outside. Not something I do
often but once in a while, every enjoyable.

I made one mistake though. Some years ago I was having lunch at a deli near
work and I'd often have my sandwich grilled. One day I was having
liverwurst on rye and the waitress asked if I wanted it grilled so I though
sure, why not? Well, toasted liverwurst is like liver, God awful liver.
Never again, a lesson learned.
