Recipe for mayonnaise sauce, called mayonnaise.
Product description
Ther are many legends that accompany introducing mayonnaise into the French cuisine. The name comes from the French word ‘manier’ - which stands for ‘mix’; it also is connected with a city of Mahon, the capital of Menorca, as well as a French city of Bayonne, where it is believed to have been called Sauce bayonnaise. The most probable is the theory that mayonnaise derives its name from an old French word ‘moyeu’ – meaning ‘egg yolk’.
