'''Mayonnaise''' (often referred to as mayo) is a [[condiment]] made by emulsifying [[egg]]s, [[vinegar]] and oil and may have herbs, garlic, or spices added for flavor. This is traditionally done by combining the egg and vinegar and slowly whisking in oil.  Blenders, mixers, and food processers allow modern cooks to incorporate the oil much more quickly.  Mayonnaise may separate and fail to emulsify if the oil is added too quickly or it isn't mixed thoroughly enough.
