      @@brewtalityk well the basic idea of Aioli is the same however in real aioli you don´t add egg. it´s oil and garlic nowadays a pinch of salt while mayonnaise is oil, vinegar, lemon juice and oil. and because you need to mix them an egg yolk for the emulsion. in Aioli garlic created the emulsion. there´s nothing wrong with lemon juice or vinegar in aioli though. it probably is a but bland without and truth be told i´d just make a normal mayonnaise and add garlic to it, because pulling up an aioli actually is more difficult than pulling up a mayonnaise, but if we are strict, in Aioli garlic takes the place of the egg.

      @tristanhnl 4 роки тому +13

      I disagree, I think he's actually one of the worst "experts". Apart from a short description in talking about the differences in ranch dressing, he only very briefly talked about the various chemicals, stabilisers and preservatives that allow the cheaper options to be cheaper in the first place. The more expensive condiments are more expensive for multiple reasons. They don't sit on the shelf as long (fewer or no preservatives), have little to no fillers and artificial ingredients/flavours, and have fewer stabilisers that might make the condiment more creamy in consistency (which wouldn't be the case in a more natural state). The fact that this expert only minimally mentions those factors in a video over 18 minutes long, is in my opinion somewhat of a failure to do what this video series was meant to do, which is to describe the main reasons for the differences in price points of 2 options within the same category of product.

    My takeaway from this is that mass produced condiments are sometimes more desirable than gourmet or specialty condiments.
    The trade off is better ingredients for flavor.

    • @chriswhinery925
      @chriswhinery925 4 роки тому +8

      Condiments are definitely trickier than a lot of other food. Their role is 100% support, they are supposed to compliment the food you're eating them with, not take over the show themselves. So which one is best is always going to wildly vary based on what you're eating them on. On a burger or hot dog, regular yellow mustard is best, but on a pastrami sandwich, you want something stronger than that, for example.

    Could we have a tea expert on here? There are so many varieties, and it would be fascinating to hear someone explain them as eloquently as the experts on here do!

      Andrew Mattar what really is the definition of condiment? Its like sauces but not sauces? I don’t think we have this word in my language

      @@hardc00re10 it's a vague difference mostly based on what you put it on. Also sauce is usually put on during cooking whereas condiments are on the side for the water to put on whenever they want at their preferred volume.

    Some of these experts seem to be making boiler plate statements and common sense deductions, but I readily believe this guy really knows his stuff. Very informative, laid out his reasoning well - very enjoyable to watch and listen to.
    I also believe he'd know exactly which condiment would go best with human liver and fava beans.

    I got the feeling this guy wanted to start lathering mayonnaise on his mustache and impulsively start smearing across the rest of his body.
