mennonite ways
i tried yerba mate for the first time yesterday. it kind of tasted like a cow. mennonites are weird.
Its really not the same if you're not drinking it out of a true matero. Its all about not disturbing the yerba when you drink it, and some pack it with so much sugar you can't even taste the mate. mmmm mateina...
i have a friend from chile who used to drink that allll the time. she had a fancy cup/straw-thing. i thought it also probably tasted like something you might find in the absence of elephants.
yeah, what's with mennonites anyways. (everyone at briercrest/in SK is)(i'm a viking)
