So you think you are a Civil War buff, Kelly Green?

What famous Civil War personality is known to have loved mayonnaise?

[Drama Queen]

I'd like to play, being that it's the 100th anniversary for Hellmann's.

I'd guess Sherman. Saw photos of him puffing on cigars. Mayonnaise was probably regarded like caviar back in the day... so final answer, Sherman.

Jed Hellmann

A colonel in the 23rd Georgia Infantry and later a three-term United States senator, he opened a ribs restaurant after the war to feed his family. His grandmother used to make a sauce that had, a one of its ingredients, a mixture of beaten egg whites and other things, as part of her recipe.

One day, Hellmann had a jar of this white sauce sitting on a table when his 8-year old son couldn't find any butter to make a sandwich. He smeared some of the sauce on a couple of slices of bread, tossed on some ham slices and starting eating it.

"Son, that's not butter," his father said, but the boy replied, "But Father, it really is GOOD!"

The rest, as they say, is history.

I thought everybody knew that.

Your mistake here was......

......thinking that this was Civil War trivia and not food trivia.

[Kelly Green]

No Problem

I had it nailed both ways.

Hellman's name is famous, but he wasn't a famous personality in the Civil War. After a good day of plundering, Sherman would often sit back and reflect on the day with mayonnaise.

I wonder if you might share your thoughts on this

After a good day of plundering?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH A!!!!!!!!!

[Drama Queen]

OMG! A famous Sherman quote!

"And let it be known that if a farmer wishes to burn his cotton, his house, his family, and himself, he may do so. But not his corn and mayonnaise. We want that. "

It's right there.

Hellman's name is famous, but he wasn't a famous personality in the Civil War. After a good day of plundering, Sherman would often sit back and reflect on the day with mayonnaise.

Hellman's mayonnaise originated at Richard Hellman's deli in NEW YORK CITY!

Mayonnaise itself originated in the town of Mahon on the island of Menorca in SPAIN where it was called Mahonesa. It was popularized by the FRENCH after they won a naval battle against the British there in 1756.

Let's recap:
Hellman's mayo-- from NEW YORK CITY
Mayonnaise-- originated in SPAIN, popularized by people from FRANCE

Bad news for New York hating xenophobic mayo lovers!
