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 on May 5th 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.

And now you know where the name originated!

DD volunteers weekly at the SPCA, and since Cinco de Mayo fell on a
Sunday she was there to celebrate Cinco de Gato....all rescue cats only
a $5 adoption fee. I thought that was pretty clever!

Changing the subject - rather, following up on the second line of
inquirty - lately I hear raves about Duke's mayo....opinions? I've never
tried it - we don't use much mayo at our house, and we've switched to
the olive-oil based kind. But dang, Duke's is expensive compared to
store brand!

We use very little Mayo, but have tried it. Cannot be a true judge,
because it isn't something I grew up with. To my mind they all taste the
same, Mayo, MW...give me real butter any day!

You can keep your tuna, Sara. I'll take ham salad, thank you! Made
with Miracle Whip, not the tasteless mayo.

turning this into a real mayo/MW war!

Duke's is made by the same company as Hellman's. For the life of me,
I cannot tell the difference. I buy whichever is cheaper. Which
reminds me - I've just about emptied the jar I have, time to put it on
the list....

I buy the Hellmans Olive Oil mayo at BJ's in the "Big but not Stupid
Big" jar. Lasts us about for about 40 cans of tuna salad plus the odd
chicken or turkey salad or tomato sandwich.
