    Celebrating Today's Mexican Holiday

    Little known mayonnaise fact:

    Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.

    But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

    The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

    Had me going! Some how I just could not put Mayo and Mexico together. Could you imagine a Berrito, a Taco, or even a Chimmichango with a side of Mayo. I would not even use mayo on an Italian Hoagie.

    It would have been a better joke to say that Mayo was made in France and that the Mexicans captured the French Mayo train and celebrated their victory with Mayo for everyone. Cinco de Mayo!
