Boudreau was in Mexico on a vacation. How he got there I don’t know. He was not very happy eating that Mexican food, so he thought, “I’ll have a hamburger. Not even these Mexican’s can ruin a hamburger.” When his ordered burger arrived and he tasted it and was very surprised. It tasted like Cajun food. It was so hot it was not easy to eat. That is just the way we Cajuns like it. When he complemented the chef on the
Cajun food he was told it was Mexican. When he inquired about why it was so hot he was told it was because the mayonnaise had jalapeño peppers in it. Boudreau liked it so much he took ten jars of the mayonnaise when he went back to Baton Rouge (that’s Red Stick in English) Louisiana. Boudreau’s family and friends soon found he had the jalapeño mayonnaise and before long it was gone.
Boudreau went to the Cajun Super Market to see his friend Guion (that’s William in English) and told him about the jalapeño mayonnaise. Guion ordered twenty cases. It was sold in a week. Guion sent a country Cadillac (that’s a pick um up truck) to get a load of the jalapeño mayonnaise. In less than a month it had been sold. Guion ordered a shipload of the jalapeño mayonnaise. The jalapeño mayonnaise was loaded and the ship started it’s journey across the Gulf of Mexico. A great storm arose. The waves were huge. The ship sank. The Mexican people were devastated that their ship sank with all of that wonderful jalapeño mayonnaise on board. After days of mourning the Mexicans made a holiday of the day ship sank.
