In the French and the British were fighting a war against each other. A French duke beat the British in a big battle. Ta celebrate the victory, the duke's chef cooked a special meal. The Chef usually used cream and eggs to make his sauce, But there was no cream left in the kitchen. So the chef used olive oil instead,
Oil and water do not mix with each other. Instead, they push each other away- But egg yolk attracts oil. It also attracts water. The 
egg yolk keeps the water and oil together. egg yolks make mayonnaise possible
If the French chef had not run out of cream, we would not have mayonnaise today, So, mayonnaise was a happy accident!
