MBSLynne and her smoothie maker reminds me of the great drinks (often spoon needed) that we got in Chiapas, Mexico, when we were on a collecting trip down there.
Opposite one corner of the plaza in the town of Tapachula was a place that Osterized (trademark mixer) the many fruits found in the area, sometimes with milk or ice cream. Wonderful! I will never forget sitting outside there in the late afternoon enjoying the various concoctions that they made, and people-watching.
