A lot of people don't know this, but famed explorer, Magellan, traveled around the globe because he was searching for the worlds greatest salad dressing. He had travelled to France and tried the best french dressing there was to offer. He went to Italy and sampled the finest Italian dressings that could be found. He even went to Ireland and had tried the best potato salad that the island had to offer.
Not satisfied in his quest, he then sailed to the new world. Imagine visiting over 1000 islands and the best you could come up with some nasty mayonnaise and ketchup recipe?? I guess you just can't beat that old world flavor...
