History of Mayonaise and a winner......
Educational- Mayonnaise; 100 years later Hellmann's Mayonnaise - a bit of history.
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 inVera 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.
