The garlic mayo from a Turkish corner shop near us mixed with homemade sambal is good on chips or as a general dip. With a full monty breakfast or sausage and mash a combination of brown sauce and mustard takes some beating.
It was always salad cream for me. Wasn't ever a fan of mayo until I swapped Helman's for one called Delouis. That ****'s a game changer.
We only had salad cream when I was young...never poncy mayonnaise. I like it now with egg salad....funny how we have these tastes left over from childhood.
Now you are talking....brown sauce on bacon sarnie on white bread. Pig heaven....well, obviously not if you are a pig.
Hmm, good question, though it is almost certainly southern Europe, because of the ingredients, eggs and olive oil. Whoever invented it, the French took it on. Every time I get to southern France I always go into a shop and buy one jar of lemon aioli and one of garlic. Gorgeous. I could eat them on their own.
Agreed TSS. I threw the question out there, as I would say most people believe it to be a French product, yet its origins seem uncertain. A lot of tales saying it is Spanish and the French took it on as their own; others saying always been French. Quandaries of such high importance eh?
I never add salt to anything.....except chips. Chips have to be salty....I would forgo ketchup rather than salt. And boiled eggs.
