Origins of Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is believed to be born in 1756 in Spain, more precisely in Mahon, the capital of Menorca. Marshal de Richelieu, celebrating his victory, was served a sauce by his cook who only had two ingredients: eggs and oil. It would have been named Mahonnaise in homage to the city. Mahonnaise became Mayonnaise.
