Aioli name come from the catalan word "All i Oli" meaning garlic and oil, because the original sauce is only meant to have these 2 ingredients(no egg or vinager like mayo),. This word is difficult to pronunce for non native speakers, especially the double L sound, many people mispronounciating it as simple 'i', leading to aioli.
Preach, Dan! This is probably one of my biggest culinary pet peeves(yah, I have more than 1 lol) I've seen it done the very old school way of mortar/pestle, garlic, salt and slowly incorporating olive oil. NO EGGS as mayo uses. To me it's unfortunate that the term aioli has been corrupted into being a flavored mayo which IT IS NOT 😠
Interesting! I loathe mayo, so I have steered clear of any menu offering that included the word Aioli, and didn't understand how people could be so passionate about it. As someone who didn't know that a whole head of garlic didn't equal one clove of garlic until friends complained, I think I'd probably love true aioli.
I had to laugh at your statement about friends complaining, so I’m envisioning a meal you made for them that called for say 2 cloves of garlic and you used 2 heads (bulbs)? Lol, that’s a great story, thanks for sharing😁
To make that aioli you can start crushing garlic and coarse salt together then very slowly add olive oil it magically will turn into aioli while crushing. I succeeded once 😂
Amen brother! I have been fighting for this distinction for years now. I love aoli, and I'm talking heavy-duty aoli... an entire head of garlic. I also like homemade mayo as well, but it is not aoli.
I don't càre for mayo on sandwiches so I always have to ask when I see aioli in the description...it's always just mayo. I would love to try some authentic aioli.
Aioli needs to keep its name. Firstly because as a combination of garlic/oil/salt it is vegan, and as such it should remain an easy choice for those who prefer a diet free of animal products - just as tofu is.
I wonder if i could sue subway for using mayo instead of real aioli. They have everyone thinking aioli is mayo and its really annoying and an embarassment to my culture.
Different cultures often develop similar recipes independently and obviously use different names. Toum usually has lemon juice in it, whereas traditional Aioli doesn't.
@@canesugar911 And you think this why? Aioli is documented in the Roman Empire times (79 AD). Every reference I find says its origins are Mediterranean and likely Italian, though some say Spain and France. I find no reference claim of a Middle Eastern origin. The first of food use of garlic itself is unknown since it grows like a weed all through Central and South Asia as well as the Middle East.
Good luck with talking down the general public on this one. I think you'll be as successful as reinstating the original meaning of "button down shirt" - which until shopping on the internet specified a man's dress shirt whose collar buttoned down into place. That name has been destroyed and I feel certain will never come back because a majority of humans are simply too "simple" to be bothered with learning the difference. Aioli is now mayo. The dumbing down of humanity continues.
Always very silly to see things called "garlic aioli"
Chai tea or shrimp scampi as well
Disambiguation is the word you meant. Discombobulate means confuse.
I was totally gonna comment this very thing. cause ambiguous words like spicy vs hot. are a pet peeve of mine.
Dan's not really good with his words if you watch his segments 😂😂 sometimes I think it's on purpose.
I thought he did it on purpose

Frustrating to anyone with food intolerances, when people fake it and serve mayonnaise while calling it aioli

Thx Dan! Geepers I love what you do at ATK!

@@christinewaite8568 that's pretty much what happened lol
Need a vid on the whole process of making aioli it sounds good and nothing like mayo
Search for a toume recepie
Sorry to burst your bubble but the aioli you buy at the grocery store is just flavored mayo
Mayo is one of the best sauces ever invented
@@MikehMike01 it's an abomination

Yes, thank you! Garlic mayo is NOT alloli!
Thankyou Dan!❤
I never even suspected that! Wow, I will look on your site for the recipe for aïoli. It sounds divine!👏🏻
Thank you for sharing great items in food.
What's the difference between mayonnaise and aioli? 5 bucks...
Aioli - garlic, oil, seasoning. Mayo - eggs, oil

The joke ---> The joke

I've used the americas test kitchen recipe for mayo and aioli and it's amazing. Super smooth and light and airy. Haven't bought store mayo since.
Yes, I agree. Thx for doing this and sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
So is toum (lebanese garlic sauce) an aioli with lemon?
yes, it's aioli + lemon and Herbs
Somewhere along the line someone decided that squid was gross and it magically name changed
I’m a chef and I’ve been saying this for years
This sounds like toum to be honest which is so good and tasty
Basically the same sauce but in a different language.
That's what I was thinking, although I've always made toum with a bit of jalapeno or similar pepper...
"Mayonnaise" sounds romantic from the mouth of Antonio Banderes

THANK YOU!
if I order something with aioli, and I get given mayonnaise instead, I'm burning the place to the ground.
Thank you!
Damn nick jonas knows a lot about cooking
Those of us with egg allergies feel the pain 😭😭
Great video as always.
I wonder if i could sue subway for using mayo instead of real aioli. They have everyone thinking aioli is mayo and its really annoying and an embarassment to my culture.
Oh! I didn’t know! Thank you, Dan!
how is proper aioli different from _toum_ (Lebanese/middle eastern garlic sauce)?
Different cultures often develop similar recipes independently and obviously use different names. Toum usually has lemon juice in it, whereas traditional Aioli doesn't.
@@kindabluejazz aioli was not independently developed, it was inspired by the middle eastern version. They just took the lemon out

This would have been a much better video if you had shown how to make aoli while explain the difference between Mayonnaise and Aoli.
Your disambiguation was successful
been saying this for years
What about the spread we put on toast...... 'Butthair'?
Mayo is an abomination
So when people say garlic aioli????????????????
How to make aioli?
Search for toume
Wait, so real aioli has no eggs?

One of my big but silly annoyances. Button up vs. button-down.
keeps up the american trend of weird names (hard cider) for example
And then people from the us talk.about garlic aioli and I'm like ???? Aioli always has garlic in it?
Culture, region etc will always change the meaning of words nobody is trying to hold down the ketchup traditions. aioli is fair game.
Who thought they were the same? I guess an uneducated person would think they are the same.
It's not man-aise. Mayonnaise. May-o-naise!
Definitely not interested!!!
THANK YOU!
