All About Mayo | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Mayonnaise, a classic sauce, has debated origins, with France and Spain both claiming its invention. Introduced to the U.S. in the 19th century as a fine-dining sauce, it became widely popular thanks to Richard Hellman, whose house-made mayo led to the creation of the still-famous Hellman’s brand. Mayo often divides opinions, with strong reactions rooted in its texture. It is easy to make using one egg, quality oil, and an immersion blender. Substituting olive oil and garlic creates aioli, a versatile dip. Duke’s and Kewpie are among the top commercial options, but exploring different brands is encouraged.

What’s with the Baby in King Cakes?
SUMMARY: King Cakes are a traditional Mardi Gras dessert with various flavors, known for their sweet icing and colorful frosting. A plastic baby is often hidden inside, symbolizing either Baby Jesus or the king/queen of a Mardi Gras ball, with the person who finds it taking on hosting duties for the next year. King Cakes are enjoyed from Epiphany to Fat Tuesday, with different names, shapes, and fillings. Their colorful glaze (gold, green, purple) and circular shape represent a king’s crown. Many bakeries, like Crazy B’s in Pascagoula, offer these treats during the Mardi Gras season, making them a popular festive snack.
