Unexpected Twist on a Classic Dish

Sydney student Louis recounted on social media how he ordered a roast dinner with garlic bread at a local pub. Wanting to add cheese for extra flavor, he expected melted mozzarella. Instead, he received something quite different.

His viral TikTok clip showed two pieces of garlic bread topped with single slices of processed cheese. The caption read:

"Charming pub meal has blessed me today, thank you!"
