In fact Aioli is not a French term really, it comes from Catalan, a language spoken in eastern Spain and southern France. Aioli comes from all-i-oli, which literally means garlic and oil. The original recipe has no egg, just oil, garlic, salt and lemon juice. Chef John from food wishes has a video where he shows how to make it. There was a variant with egg, which is the precursor of mayonnaise. When the french learned about this sauce during the Napoleonic invasion, they took out the garlic because they didn't like it as much as we do. And voila, here you have modern mayo, which is egg, oil, salt and an acid. Also, mayonnaise comes from "mahonesa", which means "from Maó", the largest city in Minorca, Spain, and a Catalan speaking region. I'm Catalan so I'm contractually obligated to tell this story every time a foreigner mentions aioli.
First i was disappointd you didn't fought back harder at this redundancy. But than i remembered that we as germans rename english movie titles with new englich movie titles so they sound more english, and felt it wasn't such a high ground to stand and fight of.

@@GraceMusyoka to be fair, to us it refers to black assam tea with cardamon, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper, heavy cream and sugar. While the spices can vary in amounts and the Original "Chai" from India doesn't have the nutmeg and cinnamon. It's never referred to as any other "kind" of tea. Usually tea is just tea here.

Reminds me of that time they named a lake on Mars 'Jezero' (or well what used to be a lake) after a Yugoslavian scientist, even though jezero literally means lake in a lot of former Yugoslavian languages, so it's just lake lake to us. And then they go and completely mispronounce it too.
You could've countered with the fact that A&W marketed the Third Pounder burger which flopped because Americans didn't know that a third is more than a quarter.
Actually it flopped because "quarter" and "pounder" have two syllables each, while "third" only has one syllable, making the name "third pounder" feel clumsy to say. It was bad marketing.
@@Wubsy96 it gets even more interesting as A&W Canada which despite being the same restaurant with the same history is an entirely independent company with completely different menu items and business practices made the same burger a few years after the US version failed but used better marketing for the third pounder burger and actually managed to make it a huge success by calling it the Grandpa Burger finally making a bigger burger than the Papa Burger and expanding the Burger Family line, you can still get the Grandpa Burger in Canada today but A&W up here raised all sizes for the Burger Family about 10 years ago around the same time they made the move to 100% organic, ethically farmed and locally sourced for all their foods and now it's a half pound burger

Gotta give props to the German for his patience and playing along. As a Spanish Catalan there would have violence implicated if somebody attempts to tell me that literal "Garlic Oil" can have no garlic in it.
Biggest discussions I had with Canadiens about cake and pie. It's all "Kuchen" in German. After hard words and 30minutes we endet up with the definition, a round Apfelkuchen, pizza style, is a pie. When I make it rectangular, on the entire oven tray, it's cake. By what reason ever and for the same recipe. ...I skipped the discussion for "Torte". Which is actually a pie, from french: Tarte. But something with creme is round in Germany, and more often rectangular in US.
I think this is a case of American restaurants and companies discovering they can get people to eat and order mayo if they just call it aioli instead. Aioli is supposed to be just a emulsion of garlic, oil, a bit citrus and salt. But most of the things I’ve seen is just mayonnaise with a bit of garlic. Or even weirder calling something herb aioli, and not even having any garlic in it. It’s just mayo, flavoured with something. That is not what aioli is
I worked at KFC and for a while they had a Belgian waffle double down sandwich. A staff member labeled the sauce "maple aiolie" and the "e" really threw me off and I asked why they spelled it like that. That was how the poster and build sheets spelled it. 🤣 I was grossed out by the idea of this whole sandwich including this mayo with maple, the microwaved waffle... but the name was sad. Not only is that not aioli, with no garlic, but also spelled in a dumbed down way so their audience can pronounce it.
You're wrong read the title again the title spelled the word "aioli" hence it's french. aioli (n.) "garlic mayonnaise," 1914, from Provençal aioli, from ai (corresponding to French ail "garlic") + oli (corresponding to French huile) "oil," from Latin oleum (see oil (n.)). The Catalan equivalent is allioli.
@@dargus1718 Tbf, Occitan is a very similar language to Catalan, and considering how close those regions are, it's very possible that both Occitaine and Catalan speaking regions were making garlic and oil emulsions like many Mediterranean regions do.
I used to think that the term tomato ketchup was redundant, but then I found out that in the Philippines they have banana ketchup so I guess the difference is necessary
Don't forget about mushroom ketchup, soy ketchup, and that one kind of ketchup that's made with fermented fish. There are lots of different sauces and condiments that have been called ketchup throughout world history. It's just that modern Americans happen to be most familiar with a type of tomato ketchup that has a lot of sugar and vinegar added to it to increase shelf life.
The name Ketchup comes from Ketjap from Asia and was originally basically fish sauce or soy sauce. Since it was expensive to ship to Europe and America we created all kinds of sauces ourselves and called them Ketchup. Tomato Ketchup came very late in the game and Heinz added a lot of sugar to it to prevent it from spoiling for a long time while still being natural without preservatives. Max Müller has a Tasting History episode on it that is very good.
That's because someone received such serious burns by a McDonald's coffee that she needed surgery and almost died. The media really downplayed how serious her injuries were.
@@smudge8882 she didn't almost die. She got 3rd degree burns after somehow spilling the coffee over herself. Mc Donalds did brew their coffee hotter than other places, yes but a hot drink is still a hot drink and should be treated as such by those who order it.
@@jasperskwar4824 She was literally in the hospital for over a week! You're victim blaming. No coffee should be almost 200°F. She had to get regular medical treatment for two years. That is not normal for a spilled coffee! Even if she hadn't spilled that coffee, someone else inevitably would have and probably has. McDonald's shouldn't ever have been giving people 200°F coffee! That's asking for giving clients severe injuries
@@jasperskwar4824 Do you even understand how serious third degree burns are??? Sometimes they require amputation! You're being awful and dismissive of an absolutely horrible thing. Had she not even spilled it and instead drank that coffee at that temperature, she *still* would've received severe burns, just on her esophagus instead.
I remember when I spent my holidays in Cuenca, our Valencian friends called it "ajoaceite". It was very curious that they used the Spanishized name and we the Valencian name, the original one.

Over here in the east ketchup or kicap is soya sauce. Nowadays we call it kicap even though kicap used to mean a certain kind of salty fish sauce in antiquity. So tomato ketchup is a pretty important distinction over here.

American with a significant other who is a chef. The German is right.

You cannot have actual aioli without garlic. Also, most “garlic aioli” is just mayonnaise with garlic flavoring in it.

That is not what aioli is
Herb aioli sounds like it is just remoulade
I worked at KFC and for a while they had a Belgian waffle double down sandwich. A staff member labeled the sauce "maple aiolie" and the "e" really threw me off and I asked why they spelled it like that. That was how the poster and build sheets spelled it. 🤣 I was grossed out by the idea of this whole sandwich including this mayo with maple, the microwaved waffle... but the name was sad. Not only is that not aioli, with no garlic, but also spelled in a dumbed down way so their audience can pronounce it.
@@koschmx I know it doesn't make sense, hence why it bothered me so much.
Me: Did someone say, 'Chipotle Aioli?" 🌵👽
"And now it's time to eat the sandwich-sandwich."
It’s not French it’s Spanish!! In Catalan and Valencian languages All= Garlic, i=and, Oli= Oil
Actually, it's as much provençal/occitan (french) as it is spanish (i wanna say it's more provençal but I don't want to be wrong).
You're wrong read the title again the title spelled the word "aioli" hence it's french.
aioli (n.)
"garlic mayonnaise," 1914, from Provençal aioli, from ai (corresponding to French ail "garlic") + oli (corresponding to French huile) "oil," from Latin oleum (see oil (n.)).
The Catalan equivalent is allioli.
It's not Spanish, since Catalan is a different language. But it's spoken mostly in Spain.
@@dargus1718 Tbf, Occitan is a very similar language to Catalan, and considering how close those regions are, it's very possible that both Occitaine and Catalan speaking regions were making garlic and oil emulsions like many Mediterranean regions do.
@@jmiquelmb Austria is very simular to Germany and a very close region however it's still a different country.
Aioli with Garlic in it. Ahhh Americans
I'm going to pick up some garlic aioli after I take some money out of the ATM machine and finish drinking my chai tea.
I can so clearly see this as animated or stopmotion lego figures.
culture shock in a nutshell
I used to think that the term tomato ketchup was redundant, but then I found out that in the Philippines they have banana ketchup so I guess the difference is necessary
Don't forget about mushroom ketchup, soy ketchup, and that one kind of ketchup that's made with fermented fish. There are lots of different sauces and condiments that have been called ketchup throughout world history. It's just that modern Americans happen to be most familiar with a type of tomato ketchup that has a lot of sugar and vinegar added to it to increase shelf life.
The name Ketchup comes from Ketjap from Asia and was originally basically fish sauce or soy sauce. Since it was expensive to ship to Europe and America we created all kinds of sauces ourselves and called them Ketchup. Tomato Ketchup came very late in the game and Heinz added a lot of sugar to it to prevent it from spoiling for a long time while still being natural without preservatives. Max Müller has a Tasting History episode on it that is very good.
@@philipkoene5345 : Miller. But yeah, OK, it means exactly the same.
Ketchup is actually a process - you can make many fruits into ketchup, like grapes and gooseberrys.
@@johns9478 Mushroom ketchup? OMG I would throw up for days.
Man this was great. Super funny
It’s almost as if things take on different colloquialisms in different regions and languages 😳🤯🤯🤯
0:28 wrong, "aioli" is an adapted spelling of all-i-oli, which means "garlic-and-oil" in Catalan.
Again what learned
@@calvinandhabs Gern geschehen!
What do you expect from the country that needed a "caution, hot beverages are indeed hot!" label?
Are you referring to the McDonald's case where that one women got burned by hot coffee?
That's because someone received such serious burns by a McDonald's coffee that she needed surgery and almost died. The media really downplayed how serious her injuries were.
@@smudge8882 she didn't almost die. She got 3rd degree burns after somehow spilling the coffee over herself. Mc Donalds did brew their coffee hotter than other places, yes but a hot drink is still a hot drink and should be treated as such by those who order it.
@@jasperskwar4824 She was literally in the hospital for over a week! You're victim blaming. No coffee should be almost 200°F. She had to get regular medical treatment for two years. That is not normal for a spilled coffee! Even if she hadn't spilled that coffee, someone else inevitably would have and probably has. McDonald's shouldn't ever have been giving people 200°F coffee! That's asking for giving clients severe injuries
@@jasperskwar4824 Do you even understand how serious third degree burns are??? Sometimes they require amputation! You're being awful and dismissive of an absolutely horrible thing. Had she not even spilled it and instead drank that coffee at that temperature, she *still* would've received severe burns, just on her esophagus instead.
Until this moment, I had a crush on Calvin. No more .
He probably says, "ATM machine" too.
Yeah, i'm gonna add another garlic paste in that garlic aioli.
Actually the name it is not French. It is catalan/valencian. All i oli means exactly garlic and oil. All i oli..... And there you have it, allioli. ❤️
I remember when I spent my holidays in Cuenca, our Valencian friends called it "ajoaceite". It was very curious that they used the Spanishized name and we the Valencian name, the original one.
It's not just from catalan. It's from provençal too, a language of the south of France.
@@FernandoHernandez-wj4jp I'm Murcian and most of the time we even omit the "aceite". "Voy a cenar patatas con ajo", por ejemplo.
The name (the one they are using, aioli) is in fact Occitan.
You should do Chai tea next! A lot of people will say 'Chai Tea' (which is actually just saying 'tea tea') instead of 'Masala Chai'(spice tea).
Same with queso cheese, naan bread.
Yeh the perticular dish of chicken masala! :D
Water Sprite is my favourite refreshment when going to the movies.
And before a nice serving of potato fries.
Nice sketch. I'm watching while munching on some Ramen noodles btw
Honestly, I would be enraged if someone said garlic ailoli.
Aioli literally means garlic oil in Catalan so it's Garlic Garlic Oil
Garlic 'and' oil. "all i oli"
Garlic garlic and oil.
@@Ashmodai Thanks :)
so, similar to Italian spaghetti "aglio e olio"
@@Ultrajuiced Yes, but aglio e olio often has spicy peppers, which is something that aioli never has. Also, aioli is much thicker since it's more emulsified
“There’s ketchup, and then there’s TOMATO ketchup.”
“There’s relish, and then there’s PICKLE relish.”
“There’s guacamole, and then there’s FRE SHA VO CA DO guacamole.”
Gaslight, Gatekeep, Garlic Aioli
Now, how about some tomato ketchup?
ketchup have a intresting history
ruclips.net/video/iWlqxGQXZx8/видео.html
there are also mushroom and oyster ketchup
@@User87145 you also have banana ketchup which the other person forgot, there are different types. If 1 is most prominent it doesn't make it the only "ketchup:
Over here in the east ketchup or kicap is soya sauce. Nowadays we call it kicap even though kicap used to mean a certain kind of salty fish sauce in antiquity. So tomato ketchup is a pretty important distinction over here.
@@User87145 actually it is. Historically tomato ketchup only got popular rather „recently“. I suggest you watch the ketchup episode of Tasting History with Max Miller -really interesting and informative.
Chai-tea and naan-bread have a new friend?
Ihr Zwei seid einfach Klasse! You made my day! Thanks!
calvin did a very good job of acting as someone i want to shred into pulp
We make this stuff at work and it is literally just garlic and mayo. Yeah there's other stuff too but it's mainly just that
So.. it's not even an aïoli x) ... but I suppose it's still good.
@@agraabui Yeah it's still really good, and sells well too
There is no mayo in aioli. It's garlic, olive oil and salt.
@@mcchuff We used roasted garlic and blend that up in the mayo. The roasted garlic is a bunch of garlic in a pan filled with vegetable oil and thrown in an oven for an hour and a half. Yeah it's not "real" garlic aioili and that's kinda the point
So the point is to make it worse by adding mayo
"dumb it down for Americans" this is so true 😂😂
You guys should make a blooper reel.
I put my personal PIN number into the automated ATM machine to withdraw some cash money to buy some garlic aioli.
Ahyo thats hella complexicated
In German we call the Mexican wave "die La Ola Welle" which literally means "the the wave wave" if translating both the German and the Spanish words... So we'd better be quiet 😄
just because some people are ignorant (or dumb) doesn't mean "we" all are. there's also a difference between printing it on an actual label and hearing it during sports events.
@@Hitsugix Tell me you're German without telling me you're German at its best 😄
Bear in mind Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was changed to Sorcerer's Stone because the publishing company thought Americans would be too dumb to know what a Philosopher was
A good example for "Pseudo-Innovations" and the result of commercials.
I um .. .. did not know what aoli was till i saw this sketch. I have stayed away from everything that had aoli in it because i thought it was a new fad that i would like ..... I have loved garlic since i was a kid....
Just like "soft tacos".....makes no sense! Tacos are soft by tradition, what americans know as tacos are the hard tacos since it was easier to mass produce and allowed for longer shelf life! Now they have to call them soft tacos cause the hard ones is what they think just a taco is.....
Is that like the why not both commercial was made
@@nolesy34 had to look it up, since i did not know of its existence. Hilarious ad!
Germans just call it wraps ;-) And the harder version is Nachos. Taco is not really used at all.
@@filippoeich1180 i know right... kids these days 🤣
What mad man would complain about having a garlic flavoured garlic sauce?! Garlic is good. More of something good is better than less of something good. Ergo more garlic is good.
Thank you.
Das es diesen Kommentar tatsächlich zu dem Video gibt lol
Feel free to drink some water water so you can calm down a bit.
If you're getting hungry you can cook some rib eye steak steak add some green beans beans and I suggest a couple of mash potatoes potatoes to go with it.
As a drink to your meal I would suggest some orange orange juice.
😏
This reminds me of an argument i had over calling it a "Grocery Store" even though a "Grocery" is technically already a type of store.
THANK YOU.
I highly suggest not to argue about Aioli, last time people disagreed with German ideas, it didn’t go very well…
"garlic aioli" has become a meme in my house. Even had a visitor say it unironically yesterday and I couldn't suppress the snicker
I like how much they clearly take from Brooklyn 99 it's like watching captain holt and Jake
This reminds me of the Thousand Island dressing episode
He won this time. Refreshing
Just wait til he asks how much is in that glass .. as soon as the yank starts with his willy wonka measurement units I'd flip.
I got some weird german snail ad, thanks guys
its like air fryers, they are amazing tools but arent fryers and are marketed as some wunder cooking tool when they are tiny convention ovens.
they are the true evolution of the toaster oven idea
The world's most accurate depiction of talking to an idiot
Mmm cacao chocolate and some leaf tea in the morning hours of morning.
This reminds me of when folks say Chai tea or when the Usos used to be introduced as the Uso Brothers.
Basically translates to Tea tea and Brother brothers respectively. 😂😂🤣
To be fair, it could mean that there is extra garlic in it, as in there is more garlic in it than in the usual one.
Same with chai tea....chai is already tea in hindi
Naan bread!🥖
Chai tea!☕️
When he says "Good."
I could feel the finality xD
American with a significant other who is a chef.
The German is right. Also, American companies ABSOLUTELY named it “garlic aioli” because they didn’t think consumers would know what aioli is and also figured people would find the name exotic. You cannot have actual aioli without garlic. Also, most “garlic aioli” is just mayonnaise with garlic flavoring in it.
