Mamey (mah-MAY) is a tropical fruit common in the Caribbean but which does not grow in North America. It was flown into Tampa from Cuba as a frozen pulp. and made into a milkshake-type concoction which was truly nectar of the gods. I guess it was a smoothie, of sorts. It is the most delicious substance I have ever tasted. You can get batidos now in Miami, but like the famous <em>Sangwiche Cubano </em> found there, they just don't compare with the ones I remember. Cuban sandwich: Roast pork, ham, salami, pickles and provolone on French stick, with mayo and mustard. Light toasting optional, but NEVER waffle-pressed flat. And no lettuce and tomato,<em> por favor</em>. If you want a salad, have it on the side. <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/Tampa_Cuban_sandwich.jpg/330px-Tampa_Cuban_sandwich.jpg" alt="" /> of, as a kid, being taken to Ybor City, the Cuban section of Tampa, and treated to a batido de mamey.

I won’t touch them with a very long barge pole, You can make your own at home with the whole fruit to get the fibre but it’s far better to just eat the fruit, They’ve been really popular here for years.
