The History of the Toothsome and Luscious Mayonnaise

I just treasure mayonnaise and I have this habit of adding it in almost all sorts of chow that I eat. Thank God, I came from a slender bloodline, hence, my shot to mayonnaise do not quite affect my weight. Until now, I can't leave the grocery store without purchasing jars of this toothsome thick sauce. When I went to France, after I graduated from college, I discovered a lot about this beloved sauce of mine. Some people that I met in France told me appealing scoops about mayonnaise and I am more than willing to share them to you.

In the 1700's, mayonnaise was made by a French chef who worked for the highly-regarded Duke de Richelieu. When the Duke was winning the combat against the British, the chef was already cooking a grand victory party where a sauce out of eggs and cream was to be served. However, the chef realized that there was no available cream so he used olive oil to invent the cream. This case was the official birth of the thick sauce called "Mahonnaise" and later, the toothsome dip that I love was named mayonnaise.

I was so engrossed when I learned about this scoop because I never thought that the ordinary sauce that I always see in the kitchen was a product of a historical event.
