    I picked up a love of curry sauce or garlic sauce on my fries during my time living in London.

    Those folks do fast food right - cheap, easy to find, and greasy.

        Aioli, by definition, is ‘garlic and oil’.

        Mayonnaise, by definition, is ‘egg yolks, beaten with oil.’

        Mayonnaise and garlic is therefore, by culinary definition, aioli.

        I invite you to ask any French chef.

          Aioli is “garlic and oil” by translation. By definition aioli is a spread made from oil emulsified with garlic, which mixing garlic into mayonnaise does not achieve. That said, the colloquial use of aioli to refer to just about any thick smooth spread is well on its way to changing that. Pedants like me can fight it all we want, but languages evolve. It’s just what they do.

              When I said “emulsified with garlic” I was trying to convey the idea that the garlic is the emulsifier. “Oil emulsified by egg with garlic added for flavor” is not an aioli by its rigid definition, but it does fit the american colloqual use

    Rogan josh curry sauce (although most other curry sauces are also good). Chips and curry sauce is a really popular fast food in the UK, but the curry sauce in question is much closer to a brown sauce than it is to anything that’s usually associated with the word “curry”. So I make my own curry sauce and put it on instead. This does, of course, completely ruin the “fast” part of “fast food”, but it is very tasty

    Ranch dressing, or a mix of half ranch dressing and half ketchup I call “krantchup”. Specifically Marie’s ranch mixed with Primitive Kitchen ketchup is so good on fries.
