History of Mayo

Some questions just come up when you are sitting around the dinner table. Who invented Mayo? And why? And was he french? Well, thanks to the WORLD WIDE WEB we have our answers and here they are dudes.
Mayonnaise was invented in 1756 by the French chef of the Duc de Richelieu. After the Duc beat the British at Port Mahon, his chef created a victory feast that was to include a sauce made of cream and eggs. Realizing that there was no cream in the kitchen, the chef substituted olive oil for the cream and a new culinary creation was born. The chef named the new sauce "Mahonnaise" in honor of the Duc's victory.
