   My father had brought home one of these during a journey in latin america! Is it used for tea or something?

   @kritsalos I'ts "mate" ,a tipical drink from Argentina,prepared with "yerba" and hot water. You use a "bombilla" for drinking,a very simple drink to prepare.It's a little bitter,so you can add sugar too.

   @kritsalos Yes, it's very similar but is not a pumpkin. The vessel are made of the fruits of a plant called "Matera" ,there are differents shapes and sizes. To use the fruit like a vessel you must to dry off and cure the fruit. The yerba mate is made of a trees leafs;dried and crushed.
