I *love* home made mayonnaise, especially with a bit of mustard flour
added.
I once found a "recipe" for a very very quick version of something
that is pretty close to mayonnaise. What you do is throw an egg
(whole[1], not just the yolk), half a cup of oil, salt pepper vinegar
and mustard into a blender, and whizz up for a few seconds.
Suprisingly effective.
