Mayo, never buy cheap mayo. My Dad used to make these breakfast sandwiches where he would scramble sausage and eggs and then mix mayo in and put on toast with cheese. They are delicious. Always mixed in the mayo in the same pan while it was still hot, but off the burner with no issues until I used cheap mayo once and I ended up with eggs and sausage swimming in oil. Like I just poured in veg oil.
I’m Asian, and have always had some kewpie around but I still prefer Hellmann’s for sandwiches and stuff. I pretty much only use the Kewpie on Asian foods.
To be fair, aioli is one of the easiest and cheapest condiments to make yourself, and offers so much room for creativity (if you’re into that). You don’t have to get a food processor, either. Ignore the food snobs and use a blender. Thank me later.
(Essentially: an egg, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and a light oil [I prefer olive, but others can work too]. All told, a quart of aioli will run you less than $0.20, and you can’t beat the pride that comes from knowing you made it that damn delicious.)

Mayo is one of the few things I have always bought name-brand. It’s just not worth it to get the cheap stuff.
I switched over recently from Hellmann’s to Kewpie though, and I’m never looking back!
