There is not much to be afraid of. It had never occurred to be to do it
until one night I was going to make chicken salad sandwiches for supper
for me and my son when my wife was out. I had a nice fresh baguette and
everything else that I needed ... except mayo. It is not something I
ever used much of so I just assumed we had some. It occurred to me that
it can be made at home. I looked up a recipe and gave it a whirl. It
was incredibly easy and it tasted great. My son loved it.

I have made it a few times since, but only at times when I knew there
was a good chance of using it up. I did it in a blender. It's been a
while but IIRC it was a matter of putting the egg, some lemon juice,
mustard and salt and pepper in a food processor, giving it a bit if a
whizz and then drizzling oil into it until it started making a flopping
noise. It was more work to clean the FP than to make the mayo.
