Mayonnaise
Mix well together 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 of flour. Work into this 1 teaspoon mustard. Be careful not to leave any small lumps. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3 beaten eggs. Beat together well and add 1 cup good cider vinegar. Then place on stove and pour in 1/2 cup boiling water, stirring briskly to prevent curdling. Add 1 tablespoon butter or more if a richer dressing is desired. When well cooked and smooth remove and cool. When ready to use add half as much whipped cream and you have a delicious dressing for either fruit or vegetable salads. You can use without the cream if desired in a heavy vegetable salad.
“The oat is the Horatio Alger of cereals, which progressed, if not from rags to riches, at least from weed to health food.”
Waverley Root 'Food' (1980)
According to Curnonsky, there is a legend that bouillabaisse was first brought by angels to the Three Marys of the Gospel, when they were shipwrecked in the marshes between the two branches of the Rhone River near Arles
