Chances are it was from a #10 can. I did a deal at a buffet one fine 
Sunday where they had an egg mechanic making omelettes and doing sunny 
side up or over easy eggs. I asked and he didn't understand "basted".

He asked me if I had tried the Eggs Benedict and if I liked his sauce. 
When I offered the opinion that steam table Benedict sauce pretty well 
sucked the egg mechanic said "If you think you can do any better ... "

He shouldn't have said that.

I was back in the kitchen, having found eggs, butter, lemon, a nice 
heavy aluminum pan, a stainless bowl to use as a bain marie and a whisk. 
Just humming along making REAL Hollandaise when I got interrupted by 
this large lady wanting to know "Just what the flying hell are you doing 
in MY kitchen?!?!?"

So, I explained myself. And she poked a finger into my sauce, sucked it 
clean and offered me a job. Which I declined.

Then she asked if I like to see where "Spike's" Hollandaise came from. 
And pointed to a Golden Age can in the 30 gallon bin.   Bv)=

AFAIK you'll never find real Hollandaise on a steam table as it will 
either clabber or break ... neither of which is pretty - or tasty.
