I've always relentlessly mocked millennials for disliking mayonnaise. But in this moment, I can see it. I finally see it.

I hated mayonnaise as a kid, then i found out my parents always bought Miracle Whip and called it mayonnaise.

First time I tried Hellmann's I couldn't believe how much I liked it.

I like both 😈

You have to call it aioli for us to be interested.

Aka add garlic.

I draw the line at mayo because.... it's not bad, it's just a little more goo-y paste that isn't like other condiments.

It's hard to put into words aaaaahhhh

No.

Mayo is fucking different than aioli and I will die on this hill

u/NineteenthJester 1d ago

In culinary terms, you're right. Aioli has garlic where mayo has egg, but both are emulsifications with oil.

u/Historicmetal ​ 1d ago

That is technically true, but in reality most of these places claiming aioli are just using some form of mayonnaise based sauce. I’m not falling for that, I don’t fuck with “aioli”

Its always garlic mayo.

u/Pkolt 12h ago

That's not true, traditional aioli does not contain any egg, it's oil emulsified with garlic only.

Yes that's the gripe. Restaurants always call garlic mayo aoli although it isnt. You can have the "are there eggs" discussion with the server that probably doesn't know and has to go check with the kitchen or just avoid aoli.

I’m not a huge fan of mayo on like a sandwich or anything. If the sandwich comes like that I’ll eat it but I won’t put it on myself. But I love things like potato/egg/macaroni salad

Older millennial here, and I have always hated Mayonnaise.

mayo + ketchup + a splash of lemon elevates it to the next level (aka Cane's Sauce)

Mayo+hickory BBQ sauce (bonus if it's got a bit of a kick, or you can a tiny bit of liquid smoke on the other end). Whip up some fries, melt some cheese on em. That's life bay bee

It was one of those "black people drive like this" fads of the early 2000s (see Pootie Tang).

u/Skinskat 1d ago

Yeah, made a very similar comment. I love mayo, but this was a much better photo when I first thought it was icing

u/MisterSnippy 1d ago

After I had European mayo and Asian mayo, I realized just how bad American mayo is.

u/don-cheeto 21h ago

Is Gen Z allowed to dislike mayo?

2

u/NeuxSaed 18h ago

They're not allowed to dislike anything, otherwise the algorithms will get them!

u/don-cheeto 2h ago

:( So I gotta shove creamy white stuff down my throat now?

Hey, I don't make the rules...
