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
PEPPERHOUSE GOURMAISE®
Boar’s Head real mayonnaise with a touch of Boar’s Head Deli Mustard and a house blend of black, white, pink and green peppercorns. Goes well with poultry, beef and pork.
   
Boar’s Head
BOLD FIERY CHIPOTLE GOURMAISE™
Ignite your senses with Boar’s Head Brand Bold® Fiery Chipotle Gourmaise™. Inspired by the flavors of Mexico, this zesty spread infuses mayonnaise with chipotle peppers for a deliciously intense heat.

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