It's Cinco de Mayo!

I read a lot of American Magazine growing up. Better Homes and Gardens, or The Family's Handyman.

And in their spring edition, there would be mentions on Cinco de Mayo. Back then, I thought it's a new mayonnaise flavour. Like Ranch dressings. I just couldn't understand the plethora of salad dressings. Here, salad dressings are usually mayonnaise, thousand islands and probably some vinaigrette, which is often labelled as French dressings or sometimes Italian dressings.

Well, mayonnaise is the most versatile. Add in some ketchup, they'll turn to thousand islands. Or add some lime juice for more Asian tartness. Stocking the pantry with different types of dressings doesn't make any sense at all, in most Asian household.

Speaking of Cinco de Mayo, I would count in Spanish 'uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco, de, mayo.... oooopsss!'. At that point, I realized that I don't really know how to count in Spanish. Silly me.

I still am actually clueless about Cinco de Mayo except that it falls on 5th of May. Can someone be kind enough to enlighten me?
