What will they think? That you served them, your fanciest guests, a cheap and chintzy lunch.
Here's what they serve at the exemplary nearby restaurant, Le Relais du Facteur, this time of year, their €13 and €17 menus. Please note, Fanny, even really inexpensive menus this time of year feature
meat.
You could have made a Truite Meuniere au buckwheat -- freshwater fish a local specialty, as the Nadaillacs will know. A little fricasee of asparagus and courgettes with savory. Or
squab, bitches, with petits pois, but that would require you to go grocery shopping. That is what one hospitable local restauranteur serves this time of year on their
cheap menu. But you had what, 8 oz. of prosciutto to share with -- 10 people for lunch?
Also in season local fresh chevre, tomme of Savoie, raspberries, beets, peach, melons, cherries, and apricots.
Now is the time to taste tomatoes, cherries and Tomme de Savoie in France

Perhaps I have misunderstood.
I was taught that egg yolks emulsified with oil is mayonnaise. That's the chemical compound which results from that process. No matter what else you put into it. You don't put mayonnaise in it, you
make the mayonnaise by emulsifying the egg yolks with the oil. As your recipe stipulates.
I think we're going to agree to disagree.
