most aioli i ever have is basically just mayonnaise

also, she notes the popularity of sushi in the article, and I imagine most millennials are eating some spicy tuna or otherwise rolls with mayo. unless they're all eating weekday sugarfish up in the hills like Bosch's daughter.

My aïoli recipe: purée about four bulbs of garlic, a good slug of very green olive oil, teaspoon of both salt and white pepper, and a few heaping tablespoons of Waitrose mayo. Sometimes I add in a wedge of salt-preserved lemon if I want to serve it alongside prawns/squid/fish.
I eat LOADS of this aïoli on rice dishes eg. paella and arroz con pollo. I am also the person who buys Maille hollandaise on spesh and tarts it up with parsley, tarragon and fresh green peppercorns, because this is better than their Bearnaise.

Do other condiments have pale imitators like Miracle Whip and Just Mayo and Vegenaise?

veganaise is decent, as is hellman's vegan mayo. i'm being pescatarian now after a few years of veganism and i honestly don't prefer regular mayo over the aforementioned alternatives

I’m going to get all rockist about mayonnaise here but mayonnaise or aioli start with an egg yolk and a whisk, garlic, mustard and salt to taste then whisk and add oil, 5 minutes work at most.

og aioli apparently uses garlic as emulsifier (so a lot of it is needed since it's not a v good agent for emulsification) which is pounded with olive oil in a mortar. and salt. in culinary school i recall being told aioli starts with cooked potato being mashed first then garlic and oil added - the tater in this case keeping the mess together. i dunno the derivation of modern day a-holey.
vegan mayo is super easy to make, anyways, this recipe is awesome fwiw: http://veganepicurean.blogspot.com/2009/05/homemade-veganaise.html

I have never been able to whisk mayonnaise into being.

i have never had real mayonnaise because peasant intuition tells me: eating raw egg yolk will make u die faster than industrially processed 5% pasteurised egg yolk mixed with a load of chemical gack will! In Asda right now they are selling shrink-wrapped duo packs of heinz ketchup/mayo for £2.50. Talk about the fucking Swiss army knife of condiment packages!

from that article upthread: and Red Robin launched a vegan burger. You don’t put mayo on a vegan burger.
Wheres this person been? "accidentally vegan" mayo has been a thing forever, thanks to cheapass food processing meaning a lot of cheaper brand mayos having no eggs in em to begin with.

I would like to reiterate that I was served a steak and mayo sandwich when I was expecting a steak and cheese
There was so much mayo on this thing that I thought it was a steak and cheese until I bit into it

i mean how much mayo are we talking about on this mayo and steak sandwich? if it's a smear then i can't relate but if it's a layer or like a blanket of mayo then yeah that's gross.

Chinese cuisine is among the world's most diverse. The high levels of invention and creativity evidenced in CAL's photo are sure to lead someday to new and revelatory dishes such as we cannot yet imagine. But the path to that bright future is not all strewn with rose petals and glory. The path will be strewn also with the wreckage of many failures and mayo may be involved. Charles Darwin would understand.

Nothing at all wrong with mayo, people with food issues go find a shrink to pat your hand and say "there there, did the bad emulsion scare you"
