Yes, mayonnaise is believed to have been invented in Mahón, the capital of Menorca (or Minorca), in the 18th century. The sauce was reportedly created by the French chef of the Duke of Richelieu after a victory in battle, using ingredients like egg yolks and oil. The name "mayonnaise" is thought to be derived from "Mahón," reflecting its origins.
