Mayonnaise

The origin of mayonnaise is quite confusing (there are several versions), and the history is ornate (even within the same kitchen, you can find several recipes). In Russia, mayonnaise is traditionally made from sunflower oil, water, egg and mustard powders, salt and sugar. In America, lemon juice is also added, and in Japan - rice vinegar. In addition, each country has its own technology. Therefore, people from the former Soviet Union often taste dozens of mayonnaise in search of something remotely resembling their native "Provencal", but often in vain.
