#20 Only in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, the whole country. And southern Brazil. It's the most popular drink, kind of replacement for cafe and tea, and you drink it with friends, coworkers and the "straw" (called bombilla) is shared. If you arrive to a place, even with people you don't know it's not well seen if you don't accept a mate (even with people you don't know, not oboviously because of COVID), is an act of confidence and friendship. You can drink it bitter with no gugar or with sugar (the tradition says it should be "amargo" with no sugar at all. There is a big insdutry behind mate in these countries.
"Massive intricate platter purchased by my grandfather in Saudi Arabia in the 60’s. 1 ft ruler for scale. Islamic calligraphy, scene depicting an old story maybe?"
A: "It’s a table. You’re missing the bottom. I’ve seen them sold as wall hanging often. I’ve got one. Mine doesn’t have a picture its covered in flowers. I’m sure they have a name but haven’t been able to find it. Search Turkish brass coffee table….. that’s the closest to finding a name I’ve come."
