It is a day of mourning ... A National Day of Mourning

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.

Well the "taco" is an "auto-matic" on every dish. And The "margarita" is traditional but I did wash it all down with a "Tacate".
(That "Corona with a slice of lime is too darn "tourista.")
And besides, have you ever seen the Corona brewery in downtown Mexico City, and compared it with those of Carta Blanca and Tecate breweries in the mountains of Monterey?

did you mean TACOTE? as in taco gande? just kidding ...

the "XXX" and "Carta Blaca" beers have been a generation tradition on the tables,
the chicas like Corona .. probably feels ROYAL to them?

at any case, half way through a 6-pack, you can tell?
