And South American Drinks

Here at Argentina most sysadmins, or me and a few friends at least, like to have a \"mate\" at hand. Or a \"Mate Cocido\". Mate is an herb similar to tea, but the \"mate\" infussion is a drink served in a recipient filled with the herb, wehere you pour hot water (not boiled!) and drink throug a \"bombilla\" (straw?), wich has a filter on one end to avoid the herb to be swallowed... It has a lot of \"matteine\", very similar to caffeine. So we keep on theme... ;-) Mate cocido is the same herb but prepared as a tea. Mate is shared with several people in a round. Very nice social activity.

I think it should be included in the poll\'s options
