It's not nice to stereotype. We aren't all barbarians!

No, but some of you are.

No, but some of you are.

They aren't my people!

If one of my adult children did that, I'd say in shock and embarrassment, "I didn't raise them to be that way".

but mayo on grilled cheese is gross

but mayo on grilled cheese is gross

Personally I don't like mayonnaise on anything much and I have a minor digestive problem with it too. In the UK its become a regular feature in sandwiches sold in supermarkets and other outlets. Historically it was rarely used in any sandwich here. But people seem to love it. And in the US its a regular addition to sandwiches often in lieu if butter.

I wouldn't say mayonnaise on grilled cheese is gross. Not my thing, but we need to respect other people's tastes. Mayonnaise is a French sauce.
Do the French eat mayonnaise with cheese?

Oh yes! And this is in French: Croque monsieur irrésistible et fondant

I took all that as light-hearted banter. Certainly someone as picky as I am would not seriously be so judgemental about another person's likes or dislikes. It's just like when I give SSOAP a time about peas. She has a way broader spectrum of things she will eat than I do. And Barriehie teases me about my aversion to offal. It's fine.

So did I. No problem. I was simply adding my thoughts.

Are we talking about mayonnaise in the cheese grilled sandwich or outside of it?

Outside in lieu of butter. Although I wouldn't like it inside, either, unless it had meat in it, and then over here it's considered a melt.

I once used mayo instead of butter on the outside of a grilled cheese sandwich because I heard on a cooking show it was good. Once. Nuff said.

I would put it inside. I can't see grilling bread in mayo so the outside would still be butter.

For information: in the UK grilling means putting under what in the US is termed a broiler. It can also mean cooking on a barbecue in the UK.

In the context of this discussion I am assuming we are referring to sandwiches cooked in a frying pan/skillet.

Please correct if I am wrong.

You are not wrong.
