| Mayonnaise |
In
cooking, mayonnaise is a thick, white, creamy, cold sauce; an emulsion
of fat (originally olive oil, now usually other vegetable oils)

Mayonnaise is made by slowly introducing oil into the other liquids
while whisking vigorously to break up the fat into small droplets that
will become dispersed in the liquid. The egg yolks provide lecithin,

sometimes other seasonings.
Aioli, for example, is a garlic-flavored mayonnaise. Popular herbed
