Mayo. Not for the mayo itself, but because to make any aioli you must start with mayo. And aioli is fucking amazing for so many things. If you ever had a next level meal at a restaurant it was probably because of an aioli.
Same. Mayo is number one because it can be used as a base for so many things. I love mixing mayo and mustard, and mayo and sriracha. Also, making homemade honey mustard sauce is delicious.
I love mayo (make it every week for The Wife an me, kids don’t eat because they are big commies) and I love aioli.
Equally I hate to be pedantic, but real aioli has no egg in like mayo does, nor any emulsifiers like mustard. Only garlic and olive oil, sometimes a splash of citrus.
It is a pain in the ass to make yourself, and no short cuts like with mayo. Worth it though.
Like mayonnaise, aioli is an emulsion or suspension of small globules of oil and oil-soluble compounds in water and water-soluble compounds. Many older recipes do not include egg, but nowadays, egg or egg yolk is the usual emulsifier
Purists insist that true aioli must contain garlic and no other seasoning (except salt).[12]
Kinda like claiming pizza doesn’t have cheese.
But yeah the majority of aioli you are eating will be mayonnaise based.

Yes especially in North America, and there is nothing wrong with that. But it is in fact a separate sauce and tastes different.
