No one knows exactly who the author of the popular sauce is, but both legends about its invention lead to the French Mahon of the 18th century. In 1756 (in some sources - in 1757) the Seven Years' War began and the city was occupied by the British. The French troops under the leadership of Marshal Louis François Armand du Plessis, Duke of Richelieu, had supply shortages. And when only vegetable oil, eggs and lemons remained, and the omelettes were already quite boring, Richelieu ordered the cook to prepare something new. On May 28, the chef prepared a sauce based on vegetable oil, which seemed very elegant to the legendary Richelieu. It was called mayonnaise - that is, Mayonnaise.
Another story dates back to 1782, when Duke Louis of Crilen recaptured Mahon from the British. During the feast after the battle, participants in the events tasted a sauce made from natural products for which the area was famous.
Classic mayonnaise is prepared from vegetable oil, water, eggs or egg powder, milk powder, vinegar, sugar and spices.

In addition to the ingredients included in mayonnaise, mustard is added to Provencal sauce.
