I've done almond based sauces with a mortar. I hate almond based sauces,
because the food-process > dump in blender > add a little water > blend
madly really doesn't produce the same stuff and you basically need one of
the tree-stump mortar & pestles to make it practical to do more than a cup
at a time so that it has the same texture.

I skimp when I make parsley-based green sauces by using the foodprocessor
but I know I'm cheating-- you just don't get the same texture. Cadoc was
talking about making an automated food smusher (electric mortar & pestle
arrangement) but I don't know if he ever got anywhere with it.
