I was also served a local tea called yerba mate and for desert I had some pomello.
This dish was delicious and the closest I've come to my regular diet. The green tea was quite good also. The pomello was satisfyingly citrus tasting but a word of warning, DO NOT eat the pith. The pith tastes like a lemon that has resided in a bovines rear end for a month, expelled and then urinated on by said bovine.
