I have no idea what any of this has to do with mexico. But, of course I believe in The Quality, so I'm doing my part. So here's to Cinco de Mayo, and viva la raza and remember the a la mode.
This is amazingly perfect.........let me tell you why. I studied abroad in Queretaro, Mexico (in central Mexico not too far from Mexico City). My host family was great -- pretty well off, and my "mama" was a GREAT cook. One day I was left to fend for myself and as I was browsing the cupboards to horor I saw the mayonaise in the cupboard! NOT the fridge. Baffled, I read the label thinking...oh, I bet it's made differently or something. But no, it said refigerase duespes de arrbir (or something similiar) Basically refridgerate after opening. Why hadn't I gotten sick? I had eaten sandwiches and all kinds of things with the stuff on it. Just one more piece of evidence that Americans are refigeration and sanitation happy and paranoid. Viva Mexico suckas.....and stick that mayo in the fridge like you've got some cajones!
When I was in the Cayman Islands we took a snorkeling trip and the captain of the ship picked up an abalone, chopped it up alive then covered it in mayonaise that had been sitting on a shelf unrefrigerated and gave it us like chicken salad. It was slightly unnerving.
