No more cordon blur: France prepares to ban vegetarian products from using meaty language
Terms like ‘steak’, ‘grill’ and ‘spare ribs’ must be expunged from plant-based products, says agriculture ministry, amid simmering dispute

Good luck with that. Grill is a type of cooking not a specific cutt of meat.
Will they ban grilled cheese?
Of course, that's not these English words that will be banned, since it's in France. The French word is "grillade". This word is used to define any meaty product that you'll cook on a barbecue. Sausages, skewers, etc.
le grille? what the hell is that?
Sounds like they've already banned referring to grilled zucchini as such.
The fact that cheese is mainly a product derivative of milk probably protects its name if it was the case.
I don't think that is relevant in this case - the article is about Vegetarian food, not Vegan. Vegans are the ones against dairy.
Yeah, I got that. I was simply following the comment's example.
Nope, that ain't vegan so no ban
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
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.
Fine, but in this case we're talking about France.
Which country?
