Do Greeks Use Mayo Regularly?

[GreekGirlCooks]

I have bumped into some Aioli recipes in Greek food blogs and maybe even in a Greek cookbook here and there. In my family, we never used Aioli or mayonnaise or anything. My family moved out of Greece maybe two generations ago. I am thinking that maybe the cuisine changed and this is a more common ingredient now? Or, maybe my family just never liked it. What do you guys think - is it used more these days? How is it used if that is the case?

Yes absolutely they use mayonnaise. It’s definitely not their top condiment of choice but it has become mainstream. As for Αγιoλί or Aioli, they live to dio their fries and seafood!

Can you buy it easily in a store in Greece? Aioli and fries sounds delicious!!!

They usually make their own aioli.
