Mayo???! - on grilled cheese sandwich???! - about substituting it for butter in "cooking" [View all]

I'm no foodie so prolly am the last to hear of this. Firstly, evening snacking on whatever is supposed to be a no-no for glucose-exaggerated-me, and can go weeks depriving myself but sometimes *lapse* under the "scientific experimentation" disguise a.k.a. what-can-I-get-away-with. Almost all of the cheats result in shattering next-morning test results. But unlike other snacks, a recent cheat utilizing two slices of cheese/bread did *not* go sky high glucose spike the morning after!

But was shocked by this vid about *MAYO* and gave in to the unleashed curiousity, so tried it - confession, more for succumbing to the evening snack mortal sin. Caveat, yes whole grain slice, retail "cheese" and no frills non-added ingredients and toasted in a toaster oven (gasp). Well, the video's chef seems non-judgmental since his physical density hints at succumbing to temptations.

*** Results: Crunchy, tasty. Good enough at my level.
