Mate
A friendly word meaning two who break bread together, or more precisely meat – two who share meat. From the old Teutonic word gamaton – ga implying a conjunction, plus mat for meat.
Other people think it comes from the French matelot, or sailor.
Mayonnaise
Believed to have been coined by the French officer Duc de Richelieu who led a successful attack on the British navy base of Port Mahon in Minorca in 1756. Finding the storehouses in flames and with no food for the victors, Richelieu improvised a meal from remnants comprising eggs, vinegar, oil, pepper, salt and mustard. The beaten ingredients so delighted the Frenchmen they named it after their victory – Mahonnaise.
