A reader from the UK wrote to me when he arrived in Montevideo and said: "Karen, what the hell is going on??? Wherever I go, there are all of these people in the street walking around and they are smoking a drink" 🤔🤣
So.. what is mate? 🧉 I've always wanted to film some videos about Uruguay's most popular drink and finally got to do it over the last few weeks.
I sat down with Pablo, an old friend of my family's, so that we could demo the truly Uruguayan way of making mate (yup, it's a bit different in Argentina) and we cracked up laughing coming up with a list of five things that you must NEVER do in Uruguay when drinking mate.
Hope you enjoy!!
