About this episode
Hosts Tom Zalatnai and Teffer Adjemian discuss the differences between mayonnaise and aioli, along with their culinary uses and cultural perceptions.
This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Teffer Adjemian (@tefferbear) bring you an episode all about mayonnaise and aioli! What makes these two classic egg-based french sauces distinct from each other, and why does it drive Teffer crazy when people conflate the two? We talk Provencal roots, anti-Midwestern snobbery, the stigma against eastern european cuisines, and some of our favorite ways to use these rich, unctuous sauces! Plus, what happens when honey glazed ham, pickles, and popping boba find their way into the Random Meal Generator? The post 235. Mayonnaise & Aioli! appeared first on PodCavern .
