>>>>Food historians offer four possible theories for the origin of mayonnaise. The most popular story dates to June 28, 1756, when the French Duke Richelieu captured Port Mayon on the Spanish island of Minorca. When preparing the victory feast, the duke's chef was forced to substitute olive oil for cream in a sauce. Unexpectedly pleased with the result, the chef christened the result "mahonnaise" in honor of the place of victory. Carame, a French food writer and author of //Cuisinier parisien: Trarte des entries froids// believed the word was derived from the French verb //manier,// meaning to stir. Another food expert, Prosper Montagne maintained that the origin lay in the Old French word //moyeu,// meaning egg yolk. Still others insist that the creamy sauce was a specialty of the town of Bayonne in southwest France. Thus, what was originally called bayonnaise was later modified to mayonnaise. Regardless of its origins, mayonnaise quickly because a popular sauce and spread in European cuisine. In the early 1900s, a German immigrant named Richard Hellmann opened a delicatessen in New York City. The salads that his wife made with her homemade mayonnaise were particularly popular items. When customers began to ask if they could purchase the mayonnaise itself, the Hellmans produced it in bulk and sold it by weight in small wooden butter-measuring vessels. Eventually the Hellmans were packing their mayonnaise in glass jars. In 1913, they built their first factory in Astoria. A company in California, Best Foods Inc., was also enjoying success with their version of mayonnaise. In 1932, Best Foods acquired the Hellman's brand. A variation of mayonnaise, made with a cooked based and labeled **salad dressing,** was developed by National Dairy Products in 1933 at the Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago. It would eventually become known as Kraft Miracle Whip Salad Dressing.
