Rouille

Rouille is a French style mayonnaise.  It’s a sort of herbed-spiced up version of our good old fashion mayonnaise.  Taste really good with seafood, or eat it by itself on a slice of French baguette.  I first noticed this spread on a slice of French baguette accompanying Bouillabaisse at Blue Bayou from Disneyland.  Fancy name for a seafood soup!  It was a chef’s special that night.  As many of you know, Blue Bayou is the restaurant adjacent to the ride, Pirates of the Caribbean.  I asked our waitress what it was, and she went in and got the chef out to answer me.  It was an honor.  Great restaurant! My bouillabaisse would’ve been better with a glass of dry white wine.  Too bad no alcoholic beverage in Disneyland!!!
