Mayonnaise Facts????????????

AdamsQuailHunter
Most people don?t know that back in the early 1900s, Hellmann?s Mayonnaise was actually manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 15,000 jars of the condiment destined for Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call after its stop in New York. At the time this was to be the largest shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.

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

That National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5 and is known, of course, as Sinko De Mayo.

    Yes.


    I agree.


    If AQH was not such a steller/great guy, I'd say "You Suck." (But) Since he is, I will refrain from doing so.



    Unless he posts another "Joke."

    I love Mayonnaise and I think Dukes is the best. Miracle whip is not allowed in the house along with store bought tomato sauce.

    Here is a little known fact, mayonnaise doesn't have to be refrigerated because it is ultra-pasteurized.
    My kin in Virginia never refrigerated mayonnaise.
    My kin up North never refrigerated Ketchup.

    Mayonnaise can be used on bread instead of butter. It make a wonderful grill cheese sandwich.

    From Hellman's web site....

    how long can it be kept outside of the refrigerator?

    BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question John.

    We do not recommend to use a product that has been left out after opening, is close to/past it's best by date, or has been exposed to excessive heat.

    We hope this helps!
