Directions

From: Suzan Herskowitz <zwriter@...> Date: Thu, 8 Aug 1996 11:58:06 -0400 (EDT) (this can be made with any fruit including mango) Someone (sorry I forget who) recently asked about mangos and what to do with them. Browsing through today's food section of the paper, I saw something that may be interesting. Sounds cool and refreshing. I am going to try the "Morir Y Sonandor".

These were culled from the Fort Lauderdale _Sun-Sentinel_ on August 8, 1996, although the article was written by Elaine Louie at the New York Times. Some background (without reproducing the entire article. These are basically my words): Columbians call these _batidos_, which translates loosely as "shakes." Mexicans call them _preparados_ or _licuados_. What they are are fruit drinks blended with sugar, milk or water and whipped until smooth and foamy.

Found throughout Central and South America and Southeast Asia, a _batido_ can be made with any fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, mangos, papayas, bananas, tamarind, passion fruit (also known as _maracuya_ or _granadilla_.) Pineapples can also be used.

So while not Jewish Food specifically, I can imagine that Mexican and Central and South American Jews will sip these cool summer treats.

Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
