Salad "Olivier" herring "under a fur coat" and juicy roasted meat. None of these foods will not do without mayonnaise. The name of this popular white sauce was named after the city of Meon - Spanish island of Menorca's capital. In the 18th century the island was conquered by the French troops of the Duke of Richelieu, and in 1858 they were attacked by the British and took the city under siege. In the end, the French ran out of food stocks - in only the remaining olive oil and eggs.
When the omelets rather tired, the Duke of Richelieu ordered his cook to cook these ingredients, something else that can vary the menu. Cook was not taken aback, whipped eggs with oil, season with all spices, salt and lemon juice. So there was this great white sauce, which we all love so much to add to salads.
