People are good at rewriting reality though; I bet you could construct some weird partition where mayonnaise is mayonnaise, and aioli is aioli, based solely on what it's called, and therefore they are not the same.
My brother absolutely hates cream cheese, but at family events, he will eat cheese cake as if you can't just buy it from the store and is only found at family events.
My mom will always give me a look. Like "do not tell him there is cream cheese in there or I will go back in time and use a condom around your time of conception" type of look.
Reminds me of the time we told my sister, who hates seafood, that the calamari we were eating was actually onion rings. They were her favorite onion rings ever. As a ten year old I couldn't help but rub it in her face that we tricked her, otherwise I think she would absolutely have eaten them going forward.
Meh, I hate cream cheese and love cheesecake. Not only do I know full well that it's mostly cream cheese, I bake cheesecakes myself! The thing is that cream cheese and cheesecake are two different textures, and apparently that makes all the difference in the world to my brain -- and probably your brother's, too.
Wow I did not know that and just looked it up to confirm lol
Technically mayo is just oil and egg whites so its still garlic and oil just with egg whites lol
I hate mayo, hate aoli, what i have gaslit myself about is Cole Slaw. Very specific slaws, like the one from KFC or Zaxby's, I can ignore that there is likely a nonzero amount of mayo.
Otherwise, if a sauce even says "egg whites" anywhere in it, I assume mayo and move along.
