In my country (english speaking) I think many people would be confused if you asked for a “grilled cheese” because they aren’t called that here (it’s usually called a toasted sandwich or toastie)
In my English-speaking country which is fucking called England you’d only get away with saying grilled cheese if the sandwich context was already clear. Toastie here, too, or, if you’re old enough, Breville.
“Yes but that is not a grilled cheese sandwich, which is what an american means with grilled cheese”
Your point being? At that point it looks like you’re being argumentative over semantics just for the sake of it.
Especially when your initial argument was:
Grilled cheese is not literally grilled cheese
To americans. For some of us grilled cheese is literal pieces of cheese, grilled. I wouldn’t get weird looks if I were to order that in a restaurant, and I wouldn’t get served a plate of melted cheese either.

If you ordered grilled cheese in English and your waiter was also a fucking jaw dragging troglodyte they’d bring out a plate of melted cheese as well.
Everyone else will assume you abbreviated a grilled cheese sandwich

Fine, but in this case we’re talking about France.
You can grill grilled cheese.

So your logic is:
“Yes but that’s a grilled cheese sandwich”
“Yes but that is not a grilled cheese sandwich, which is what an american means with grilled cheese”
