Sirs and Madams! I am but a humble traveler from a far avay land, but I implore you - stay a moment and listen to vhat I have to say! Zis Eorzea of yours - as soon as I came here, I vas awestruck by its vonderful beauty. It took my breas avay! But ze moment my stomach began to growl, I discovered just vhat it is you Eorzeans lost in return for such gorgeous lands.

Ze food! Vhy, I had never tasted such bland and unoriginal cvisine before in my life! I do not mean to berate you, but your tastebuds, I veep for zem. You do not even have a condiment as simple and integral as mayonnaise! I simply could not believe my ears vhen zis "cook" at ze guild in Limsa Lominsa did not know vhat I spoke of! Please, people of Eorzea, let me teach you at least zis vone recipe before I must return across ze sea to my homeland! Now, my people like to have just a bit of a... ah... vhat is ze vord you Eorzeans use... zing to our dishes, so we prepare ze mayonnaise wis a bit different ingredients. Ve call it "aioli", and I guarantee you it is much better zis vay!

Alright zen, first take ze garlic and ze salt and smash zem togezer until you have a nice, sqvishy paste. Zen, we must take ze eggs (any bird egg vill do, but I recommend using ze chicken's) and crack zem just so zat only ze yolk comes out. Ze vhites are not used. Take ze egg beater and vhisk ze eggs vis ze paste until they are all very nice and smooth.
Now here comes ze tricky part. Ze aioli is made by a process ve call "emulsion". It's a very tricky science-y sing, so I von't bore you vis ze details; just know zat you have to add ze olive oil very, very very slowly, as little as a drop at a time, all vhile vhisking ask hard as you can. If you add ze oil too fast, ze emulsion will break and ze aioli vill be ruined! You vill
