If you want another twist on the Cinco de Mayo celebration, try this one:
"Bone up on your 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 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 while we in the United States celebrate Cinco de Mayo with wild abandon, it is just another day in Mexico. Friends vacationing in Mexico a few years back looked forward to a Cinco de Mayo celebration while there on May 5; they dressed festively and went in search of a local watering hole and/or restaurant to celebrate in. Nothing! Oh well, we're having way more fun here! Viva Cinca de Mayo!
