In the early 1800s, England was the founder and sole producer of mayonnaise. Years later the product was introduced to Mexico and caught on with a vengeance. The Mexican population had not enjoyed a new taste sensation for generations and just craved the new product mayonnaise.

It was a very difficult product to obtain since it had to be shipped by boat all the way from England. Mexico completely ran out of mayonnaise and was anxiously awaiting the next shipment.

An expedited shipment (a full boat load) was dispatched.

The Mexican people awaited its arrival with great culinary expectation.

Unfortunately the boat hit severe weather and sunk. Word of the tragedy reached Mexico, and word of the sinking spread like wild fire throughout Mexico. You could hear it shouted though the streets -

"cinco de mayo".
