And Mayonaise was actually made in Mahon, Menorca where it was " invented"

Just a thought, just a thought!

And the next place is Alayor- which we all know is Arabic for 'God With Us.'

Quote Xoroi- the One eared Arabic giant who kept a village maiden in a cave for many years- and was not discovered until it snowed.

Later, or so it is claimed- Lord Nelson bought a villa on the proceeds of his holiday insurance after losing an eye and an arm.

Comment! I didn't start the thread. No stones please- it was where ballistics were invented- 'Baleares'

Pub quizzers, take note

Because my mother, and SWMBO's mother too, always kept their opened Hellman's mayo in the refrigerator we followed suit, believing it would spoil quickly if left at room temperature.

I learned just a few years ago that commercially made mayo, like several other foodstuffs including honey, catsup matzo and maple syrup doesn't need refrigeration to prevent spoilage. Their chemical makeups or lack of moisture won't let bacteria live in them. When mixed with other foods like in an egg salad sandwitch, its the other stuff that "goes bad" when left at room temperature for a a day, not the mayo.

Commercial mayo is made from pasturized eggs and has enough vinegar in it to make it too acidic for bacteria to survive.

Hellman's says that storage at high temperatures will just affect the "fresh flavor", but they don't say that will turn it into something that would kill you if you ate it.

Jeff (Who still puts the Hellman's in the fridge regardless.)

Too funny.

I was buying that, hook, line and sinker. :-)
