It has always baffled me that avocados are more commonly associated with savory dishes in Western cuisine. I spent nearly a decade of my childhood in the Philippines, where avocados were treated like a dessert. An icy avocado smoothie with condensed milk was the perfect treat after climbing trees and playing patintero with the neighborhood kids. I honestly can’t even think of a savory Filipino recipe that incorporated avocados.
Fast forward a couple of decades later, and I still crave this childhood treat.
