a delicacy i have yet to try: tereré
from a friend serving in the peace corps:
I also drank a lot of tereré, the iced tea like beverage of choice in Paraguay. It is served in a cow’s horn called a Guampa and is passed from person to person, and you are to drink the entire serving at once. It is more like a large sip than a full serving in a glass. You drink through a metal straw called a Bombilla that strains the herbs. Somtimes it´s more like mint water, but the flavor changes depending on what extra herbs they put in the pitcher.
