|  Educational ? 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 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". WHAT!!!! You expected something educational from me?? Regards, Marcel

| Well I never... you learn something new every day. Perhaps that explains why Mexicans use sour cream on their tacos. This has reminded me of a Canadian archeologist who told me that Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce was very popular with early Canadian settlers and trappers who foraged in the tundra. Since Lea & Perrins have maintained a record of all their bottle designs, archeologists have been able to sift through the remains of settlements and date them according to the types of Worcestershire sauce bottles they found.
