Can be a bit tricky to make, but I think I got a fool proof and quick method.
half in half plain oil and olive oil, salt, vinegar, garlic clove. Put it in a jam jar and blend it with one of those stab mixers till its a creamy emulsion.
Put egg yolk in a bowl and whisk in the oil emulsion.
It goes thick very quickly, you can add the emulsion quickly, and it doesn't split. Takes about 1 or 2 minutes to make.
I think the key is that the oil is already broken down into minute globules by zizzing it up with the vinegar garlic and salt, so it just mixes into the egg yolk without having to laboriously whisk it to do this.

That's got to be worth a try - I used the Monica Galetti recipe from Masterchef last time, and gawd knows how she got it made so quick! I was still whisking after 15 minutes, and I gave up on the hand whisk after two!
It was at that point I decided "sod it - Hellmann's in a jar is ok after all"... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yet an open hand whisk is what you have to use, god knows why, but whenever I used and electric one it split.
But this method is so far 100% reliable and takes 1 minute of whisking. Its that fast.

I use a frappe machine. The only danger is that it splits very suddenly, so you've got to watch it like a hawk.

Ok, so that's like a stab mixer we have in Europe. Try making an emulsion out of the oil, vinegar salt and garlic first, then add it to the eggs. I think the fact that the oil is already in tiny globules makes it almost impossible to split. You can literally whisk it into the yolk in 30 seconds. Its that fast. And it goes solid.

Um, which part of "the rest of the world" do you think England and the Netherlands are in?
When you said "stab mixer", I didn't realise that you meant hand/plunging/soup blender.

How do I know you aren't in the US? Café Frappe sounds American and I have never seen these in the UK or France (or Luxembourg or Belgium for that matter).
"stab mixer" I think its a German term originally. Yeah:
[^]
The first ones in the UI I guess came fro Germany, anyway, that's then name I know them by from the 90s.

I didn't say "Café Frappe", which is Greek; I said "frappe", which is Italian, and doesn't have coffee in it.
Yup. Pretty bloody obvious I'm a yank, innit?
Oh, and a frappe machine bears no resemblance whatsoever to a soup blender.

Oh, you mean the milkshake called a 'frappe', not a 'café frappé' with the accent.

Wow!
I know that you yanks invented the English language 2000 years before the Americas were discovered, but I was unaware that you'd invented Italian, too!
Must have been at the same time that you invented the pizza.

Ok, you need setting straight here:
1) I am English, and live in France.
2) Café frappé is French, not Greek. Bien qu'en France le café frappé soit nettement plus ancien, et qu'on en retrouve des recettes dès 1897 et 1932, la variante grecque qui utilise du café instantané fut mise au point en 1957 par International Trade Fair in Thessaloniki4. [^] In France, here in the south, its an expresso poured over crushed ice. That's the 'frapper' bit, it means to 'hit' in French. The Greeks obviously copied it and used instant coffe, god knows why.
As usual Mark, you turn into a jackass after a few posts. Why you have to do this I don't know, but you must have some serious issues to work out.

Yeah, right[^]
Any idiot can google. A lounge is a place where you say what you know (or believe) to be true, and discuss opinions, not google in a desperate effort to ***win*** what you immediately turn into an argument by doing so.
Why do so many developers find it hard to play nicely with the other kids?
There ain't no winning in life, and there's nothing to win on message boards. Just try to remember that.

Its not a desperate google to *win*, its a self evident fact from living in France for 15 years and speaking the language: Frappé is French, and as I showed you Café Frappé recipes from France predate the Greek copy by over a century.
Quote how you managed to degenerate a thread abut making mayonnaise into a personal argument says a lot about you Mark. You have a habit of doing this, your tone is aggressive and confrontationary, and the rest of your post describes you very well.
My advice. Stop being such a douche and learn to live with people.

No. The French have "frappe", and it's just espresso (Italian) coffee over ice -- crushed ice, as you go further south and into Italy.
And don't start claiming great or lengthy knowledge on the subject. To quote your first mention: "Café Frappe sounds American". You then googled (badly, because you got all incorrect results).
If you want a trollish google fight, take it elsewhere.

The term Cafe Frappe, which is what I thought you were referring to, when used in an English language sentence, is most likely to occur in America than the UK. As is Cafe Late etc. In fact it does exist in America (without the accent note) Cafe Frappe Recipes at MrCoffee.com.[^]
The word Frappe is however obviously of French derivation (ie Latin, and therefore Italian too).
Café Frappé is therefore French for iced coffee, recipes for which predate the Greek copy by a century, and is the term used in France. I know, I have lived in the South of France for 15 years and have ordered it frequently.
A Frappé is just a milkshake, as it is in Italy: LES FRAPPÉS | McDonald's France[^] Unsurprising since they are both Latin languages and therefore share the same roots.

Oh, bollocks, mate. Just give it up. You clearly stated that you'd never heard of it, before I mentioned it, so you're just as clearly displaying "google expertise".
Learn how to discuss what you know, without googling, and without having to ***win*** (because there's **** all given away in prizes, here).

Never heard of it? Bullshit. Where did I say I have never heard of Café Frappé?
You are clearly some sort of f***ing idiot since I clearly stated I have drunk it enough times in France.

That's a 'frappe machine' I never heard of you clot.
Café Frappé I often drink.
Get your facts right Mark instead of (intentionally) misunderstanding them to create an argument.

I remember when they started selling the hand mixers, all ads used the mayonnaise example as the selling for the gadget.
I like to add a little bit of mustard in it (and skip the garlic).
I'd rather be phishing!
|
|
|
|
|
Mine is an aioli in fact, which I prefer, but yeah, a classic mayo can have mustard.
I don't use the stab mixer itself to make the mayo, just to emulsify the oil. I then hand whisk it into the yolk. You would have to be using like 5 eggs or something for a stab mixer to even reach the yolk!

Let me say that if I did not know you were all a bunch of bacon-eating . . . well, naturally I'd ask "why would one make such a horrific concoction, let alone soil food with it and then put it in their mouth?"
But, as I said - the explanation is self evident. Ketchup and potato chips ('a/k/a crisps'). Single Malt Whisky Sours. French cuisine. All of it makes any sentient being cringe.
