Mash
Squash into paste
Mash is a soft, pulpy mass made by crushing or mixing something with liquid.
In brewing, mash is grain steeped in hot water to extract sugars for fermentation.
Mashed potatoes are the classic culinary example.
To mash is to crush into such a state: Mash the bananas until smooth.
In British slang, a mash is an infatuation or the object of one—now old-fashioned.
A mashup combines elements from different sources into something new: a mashup of two songs.
