 Nostr, how do you make grilled cheese sandwiches? With butter, olive oil, or mayonnaise? I'm a butter maxi, myself. https://i.nostr.build/o8ivdI6kvxckPqNh.jpg 
 Butter!! 🧈 
 Butter 
 All of the above :-) 
 Do you really like them all? A few years ago, my friends had a grilled cheese party where we made them with all 3 and all different cheeses. The consensus was that butter was superior, olive oil was an easy second, and mayo was inferior to the other two. 
 Different cheeses can absolutely ruin it. I am not a fan of the really strong cheeses. But as far as mayonnaise or butter or olive oil go, Ill take them all together or individually. 
 🧈🧈🧈🧈 
 Butter, but you butter the outside of the bread and put the cheese on the inside, this way it gives it a good crust and melts the cheese well.  
 How'd I do, boss? https://i.nostr.build/d1PMscxwNjRfEGTe.jpg 
 Looks good. 🤙😋🧀 
 approved! 
 looks good! 
 Butter, all the way  
 🍆🧈 
 Hmm. 
 is margarine crazy? 😅😭 
 yes, too much water inside. But some people like cleaning their kitchen after making a sandwich 🤣  
 Only butter. Never mayo. 
 I had never heard of people using mayo until a couple of years ago 🤯 
 Same, it’s crazy town. 
 Good Rule of thumb, don't add mayo to literally anything! 🤣 
 Some people make mayo and peanut butter sandwiches, gross. 🤮🤢 
 I can't unsee this! 🤢  
 I accept mayo, and I accept peanut butter.... But together?!! Grouce  
 That's because you're not using the metric system 😉  
 We use odd numbers and units to confuse the Europeans. 
 Wait until I tell you some some sushi restaurants IN JAPAN use mayo on their aburi sushi (torched sushi). 
 Butter!🏆 
 I like olive oil, so mayo.  Guess I'm weird 🤣 
 Butter is the only sensible answer 
 mayonnaise has become the preferred method  
 Interesting. Why? 
 mostly because "I think it tastes better", and maybe there is a difference in the bread is not damp from absorbing the butter / oil  
 
 Mayo should be a war crime 
 Isn’t there a clinic for that? 
 You must be a father making a joke like that 
 Is it that obvious?

 Sir, I'm not in that club!

 Mayo is just a crime in general, dare you to list one thing that tastes better with mayo.  
 Guacamole 
 Since when does guacamole need mayo?  
 Sorry I thought you said better THAN mayo 😂 
 No, haha. I said mayo is disgusting and doesn't belong on anything.  
 💯 
 Yo dawg i heard you like fat so we added an oily fat to your oily fat in order to get more oily fat taste 
 Haha 🤣, true though. Why not add some butter while ya at it?  
 🍆🧈 
 My favorite spread on toast is olive avocado butter ghee tallow margarine 
 My main disgust is the seed oils 🤢 
 Yeah 🤢 
 Homemade mashed potatoes 
 Better to add cream and butter than mayo though.  
 No I add plenty of those. The mayonnaise is an emulsifier. Just use a spoonful to make it nice and creamy. Not enough to even taste. 
 Mashed potatoes without butter is a tragedy 
 Have you ever made aligot? 
 I don’t think I’ve ever read that word 
 https://www.simplefrenchcooking.com/recipe-entry/cheesy-yummy-potatoes-pommes-aligot 
 Looks interesting  
 For a second I thought you were saying potatoes alligator 🤣 
 Sounds like a Florida delicacy 🤌🏼 
 Also good, but needs to be made snappy 
 Someone arrest this man before his dad jokes asphyxiate everyone 😂 
 Too late, I’m actually posting from Dad prison already 😂 
 🤣 
 "Florida man catches alligator with his bare hands and turns it into a classic Florida dish"  
 Not if you have braising liquid to use as a sauce 😎 
 Chicken 
 tuna/ sandwich 
 butter unless you have cold pressed olive oil from Andalusia 😋  
 olive oil maxi here 🫡  
 Of course you are. You're at the source!!!  
 I didn't choose the olive oil life, the olive oil life chose me 😹  
 we should sell it on nostr. we'd be rich 
 This note represents me. 
 Note to self, get bread and cheese.

 Do you mean some people add Mayo instead of Oil/Butter. 

Also, even Oil doesn’t work well with this. IMO 
 Some people use butter on the bread, some people use olive oil on the bread, and some people use mayonnaise on the bread. They're using all three as an oil or fat to brown the bread and stop the bread from burning. 
 Interesting. Never knew that’s a thing. I don’t even know what happens to mayo when heated. 😂 
 Melts and liquefies 
 Going off the theme here, *but* slather some mayo on chicken and toss it in some seasoned panko or regular breadcrumbs and bake it for super moist "fried" chicken without the mess. 
 This actually sounds interesting 🤔 using mayo instead of egg. May have to give it a go sometime. 
 My kid loves it. I've started just doing the top so I don't have to fight with a wire rack to keep the bottom from being soggy. The idea came from Pinterest waaayyyyy back in the day and they used crushed potato chips.  
 Not just heated; it’s being used as a medium for frying which is conveniently spreadable on the bread. 
Just heated, mayo is disgusting 😂 
 That’s why I’m in shock. 🤣

To me, Mayo has always been a cold condiment. 

But I guess in this case, there won’t be any Mayo left at the end. 
 Correct. It is a thin swipe that gets absorbed into the bread. 
You’re essentially frying in a mix of oil and egg yolk fats with a little extra flavoring, and it doesn’t run on the rest of the pan to burn there wasted. 
 Damn it. 

I’m making grilled cheese now… with mayo. 
 Butter now, but at least a bit of butter for better browning with EVOO is acceptable.  
 Butter / olive oil combo 
 You'd feel much better with one of these tasty vegan options and you'd be a better person;

 It looks good, but also sounds nasty. No thank you, Really Shit Advice. 
 real bread, natural tomato and olive oil is best🐸 https://m.primal.net/JLdk.png  
 I used oatmeal bread 🤤 
 Butter and you didn't put enough on this bread sir 
 It's oatmeal bread. 
 But yes I literally just tossed butter in the skillet and swirled the bread around on it after it melted. 😬 
 Mayonnaise, multiple cheeses, on a hamburger bun. 

Hamburger buns work so much better than regular bread. If you are feeling adventurous add pickles. The tart breaks up the grease 
 Sir you're going to have to stop commenting on my notes with crazy talk like this. 
 I’m throwing pearls before swine 
 Is that a type of sandwich? 
 It’s a saying from the Bible. Means handing out something of value that is not appreciated by the recipients 
 It shld be. Pearls before swine is a great name for a pork sandwich with pearl onions.  
 Oh man pickles! Brilliant! 
 Dill pickles placed ontop of a grilled cheese is epic. Game changer. 🔥 
 If we’re talking what to put INSIDE a grilled cheese besides cheese:

A thin mandolined slice of apple or two 
Maybe a little ham or Lebanon bologna

😚👌 
 I cook up some ham in a skillet with some soy sauce and honey , then add the cheese, cooks up perfect and it’s so cheap!
Whammo 
 This becomes a teriyaki ham and cheese? 
 Pretty much, it’s tasty though! 
 Roast suckling ham and cheese? 🔥 
 D with the hard hitting questions this morning ! Ya I’m a butter maxi too but now I kinda want to add mayo and maybe tomato 🍅 
 Waaaaaat? V, plz. We are friends. I can't let you do this. 
 I know Derek but I’m hungry and it sounded like a good idea lol 
 I'll definitely will bake it with butter.
Try kimchi with your toastie 🇰🇷 
 Kimchi grilled cheese is amazing! My favorite BBQ restaurant actually sells them. You can get them with chopped bbq pork in them, too. A full meal 💪 
 I don't.  
 I went so many years without having them but my kids like them and sometimes I love being a kid myself and dunking my grilled cheese into tomato bisque 🤤 
 Butter is better 
 With butter. On a fire. 
 Butter, ham and onions. 
 These are good additions 
 Add mortadella next next 
 I mean if you're going there, then also mayo, a bit of Dijon, sourcrout, pepper, then you really have something. 
 Ghee 
 Awesome. I was wondering if someone was going to say this. 
 Here me out. Try Mayo. It's good. I still usually do butter, but it truly works quite well with mayo.  
 I tried it once, because I was curious. Yes it's easy, but I don't like the taste as much. 
 Butter. But it’s great in bacon fat! 
 I dont eat them, but for the children, here is my protocol:

-lightly toast the slices of bread;
-add thick slices of cheese;
-spread butter on both sides of sandwich;
-sprinkle sea salt on both sides;
-heat cast iron skillet;
-grill both sides until golden brown;
-slice sandwich diagonally;
-serve with cold glass whole milk.

 a bit of all 
 ALL THE BUTTER  🤙  
 🧈 is best 
 Smokey tallow from my last brisket 
 Duuuuhuhude 🤩 
 butter, lotion of the gods! 
 I am pork fat maxi  
 Butter! On both sides of each slice! 🤩 
 Yaaaas  
 Hi, there are wild swings in bitcoin price. Do you know any reliable person who I can follow to copy his trades to make profit on it?  
 Most of us don't care about the price, don't look at it, don't trade, and don't try to make a profit. We just smash buy. The goal isn't to get more fiat for tomorrow. The goal is to have more bitcoin. It's a scarce asset. Most aren't looking to sell, unless they have to pay fiat bills because they live on a Bitcoin Standard. 
 Sir, you’re talking to a spam bot 😂 
 account was probably recently compromised
https://m.primal.net/JLsB.png  
 Everyone's gotta learn 🥹 
 No Sir, I am not a bot .  I accept that I sent this message to few knowledgeable folks so that I can get an answer but I am not a bot.  If you don't believe , we can do video call. I am thankful to you that you take out your time to help me !!! 
 no sir 
 pls let me know , how do I prove that I am not a bot ? 
 Sir, I have a very strong belief in Bitcoin. sometime a thought comes like when Bitcoin was all-time high at more than 70k. if we convert some of them to stable coin just to convert back when the price comes to 50k, will it not be a good strategy? 
 The goal is to stack sats for an uncertain future. Don’t trade, HODL.

  butter all day long!  
 Mayo 
Fight me.

 Mayonnaise? 🧐 
 Buttttttta 
 Organic mayo if I have one open, which is super rare. Otherwise butter. 
BUT
I recently discovered frying bread in sausage grease is AWESOME and I bet it would beat all other options 
Will try someday 
 A good knob of bacon grease with a light butter float, with mayo on the bread. 
 Butter on the outside of the bread, mayo on the inside of the breat, muenster or gruyere in the middle 🤤 
 Homemade avocado oil mayo 
 Butter 
 Lots of butter on the outside, thin line of mayonnaise on both interior slices so it blends with the melted cheese. 
 Mayo and I throw some tapatío on the outsides when I’m feeling spicy 
 my brother uses mayo
he would know
he uses mayo to toast burger buns too

i dont really like sandwiches so i am no expert here 
 The mayo browns without burning like butter 
 Step one: Say 'Nan will you make me a grilled cheese (and maybe some tomato soup). Step two: Turn on "The New Zoo Review" and eat the most delectable 'toasted cheese' you've ever experienced... But yea, there was always a LOT of butter! 
 Butter if it's warm/spreadable otherwise mayo 
 Anything other than butter is heresy to an Irishman.  
 Butter all the way, about 30 years ago, someone showed me you simply melt the butter in the pan first then butter both sides of the bread. Game changer. Why wasn't I taught this day one?

In Kansas: "Toasted Cheese"
In Minnesota: "Grilled Cheese" 
 Now I'm hungry again 😅
I mostly do it with butter 
 Absolutely butter. 
 Butter for the win. 
 Why the hell would someone use mayo?!? Lol wtf 
 mayo??? lol it's called great stuff... it's turns into a dense foam 
 hahaha damn. that's so weird.  i think i had a glitch on primal. it looked like Mahdood made this comment 
 Butter. 
 bacon grease 
 Butter all day
