39. Mayonnaise.
Take a round-bottomed basin, place therein
three yolks
of eggs, a little pepper and salt, and with a
wooden spoon
proceed to work therein, by turning the spoon
round quickly,
about half a pint of salad oil and half a gill
of tarragon
vinegar ; these must be incorporated by degrees,
almost drop
by drop ; and in order to produce the sauce in
perfection,
it must present the appearance of a firm, creamy
substance.
This cold sauce is especially adapted for chicken
and lobster
salads.
