In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of aubergines sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolk and lemon juice or vinegar, whipped into a thick, creamy sauce. It goes into sandwiches and potato salads, and sits beside fries and döner.

Squeezed straight from the bottle, mayo goes on thicker than you think, and reduced-fat versions have different numbers.
