I asked for cutlery!

Remember when I asked you for Cinco de Mayo how many tacos you wanted and you said, "I want two piece!!!".

I was confused with that too.

Well, you are a Russian hooker so I get the differences now.

The Chinese invented and exported cinco de mayo.
Good job!

For reals though, it’s a holiday invented maybe in one region of Mexico, and capatilized by americans.
Like st Patrick’s day.

I celebrate the fact that we have Mexican food, and Irish whiskey.

American food, if there is such a thing, would be midwestern I believe. Filling but flavorless?
Unless there is a good midwestern recipe that does not contain beef or potatoes.

I’m pretty sure it means “ Tequila”.

Not many people know that Hellmann's mayonnaise was made in England, back in 1912.
The Titanic had 12,000 cases of Hellmann's bound for Mexico, as the Mexicans just LOVED mayonnaise.
Well, we all know that shipment never made New York, let alone Mexico.
The Mexicans were inconsolable at the loss of their beloved mayonnaise, so much so, that they established May 5th a National Day of Mourning for the loss, for the Cinco de Mayo.

Very interesting

foreignlegion.info...

In Algeria in early May 1853, Captain Jean Danjou lost his left hand during a topographical expedition, when he was giving a signal gunshot and the cannon of his musket exploded. Because of that, he wore a precisely-made wooden hand instead.

This wooden hand was stolen by a Mexican at the hacienda as a souvenir. Luckily, it was rediscovered in 1865, when an Austrian officer named Grueber of the Austrian Legion (allies of France) found the hand at a ranch and bought it. He handed it over to Marshal Bazaine, then the chief of the French forces in Mexico and a former NCO (and officer) with the Foreign Legion. Thereafter, the hand was transferred to Algeria, to the Legion’s headquarters.

Today, the wooden hand of Captain Jean Danjou is paraded annually on Camerone Day in Aubagne, the Legion’s current HQ in southern France. It is carried by a designated veteran – a legionnaire, NCO or an officer. To be designated to carry the wooden hand of Captain Danjou on Camerone Day is perceived as the highest honor for any veteran of the French Foreign Legion.

May 5th is Liberation Day in the Netherlands as well, but from the Nazis.
