Gourmaise (gourmet + mayonnaise)
“Gourmaise” (gourmet + mayonnaise) has been used as the name of several trademarked products. McCormick & Co. had a trademark (now expired) on “Gourmaise” in 1971. Boar’s Head brand (Frank Brunckhorst Co.) trademarked “Peppercorn Gourmaise” with a first use in 2009 and “Fiery Chipotle Gourmaise” with a first use in 2013.
The term “gourmaise” is not liked by some. From a Twitter message on June 1, 2014:
“‘Gourmaise’ is the worst food portmanteau neologism in the history of humankind.”
Boar’s Head

Is “gourmaise” a thing? Or just an awkward portmanteau of “gourmet” and “mayonnaise”? pic.twitter.com/QQkh89VueK
