Yeah… the salami in the cuban sandwich gave that away (but it’s still good)

I’m so glad that someone else likes Mamey. That’s my fav. I love Pina, and morir sonando is also great but Mamey’s the sh*t!!!

Mamey is pretty good and quite addicting.

If you like goya actually has Mamey in frozen pulp form, it’s not sweetened though so don’t try it without sweetening it.

@Matt – Sorry! I knew somebody had recommended it on the site, and only the comments came up when I did the search, and I didn’t make the connection. I fixed it.

@S.M. Koppelman – I was more of a cafe con leche kind of guy (or perhaps a colada if we were going bowling at Bird Bowl.) I never really sampled any of the shakes.

The mamey is a great pick, but I only get it when they’re out of guanabana.

And I’ve been reduced to a “commenter”? No ‘Profiled Luncher Matt’?

It’s toasted wheat. It tastes like a bowl of sweetened puffed wheat cereal — think Sugar Smacks or Super Golden Crisp. It’s my favorite Cuban shake.

Didn’t you say you’re from South Florida? Where diud you eat besides the Rascal House and 55-and-over “bagel restaurants”?

@Zach: just so you are aware wheat is a worldwide cultivated grass. Globally, after maize, wheat is the second most produced food among the cereal crops; rice ranks third. I’m surprised you never heard of it before.
