It takes cojones to drink out of this

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

People in Argentina love meat. They barbecue like nobody’s business. Only there, it’s called an asado. They also apparently have a very peculiar custom of drinking a hot beverage called maté, which can only be described as rather “earthy”. It’s said to have a lot of health benefits, none of which outweigh the taste, however. And how do they drink it? Out of a hollowed out vegetable, wrapped in the hairy skin of a bull’s cojones, of course. How do we know this? Because our programmer Emanuel is Argentinian, and he sent this to us as a gift. He calls it the “Ferrari of Maté”. We named it Fernando. We can’t thank you enough, mate.

I’d appreciate it if you could bring meat, beer, condiments, paper goods, and all the guests to a BBQ I’m throwing
