We had two avocado trees in our yard when I was a kid, along with a star apple tree, a santol tree, a kamias tree and a couple of coconut trees. I was always very proud of the trees in our house because not everyone who lives in the heart of Manila had trees in their house.

When the avocados are ready for picking, we seven siblings will make different kinds of desserts from them. One of our favorites was the avocado ice. We will “osterize” the avocados mixed with milk and sugar and freeze them into ice cubes. After a game of patintero or touch-taya, this is usually our pampalamig. Saraaap the memories of childhood…

After being in the US Navy for a few years, our ship, the USS Midway, served some avocados at the salad bar. I quickly took two slices and proceeded to make my avocado dessert ( milk ice and sugar). I was about to dig in when I noticed a threesome of white faces staring at me. They have never seen anybody eat avovadoes that way before.

Oh, the avocadoes were the ones with a very bumpy skin. Not bad.

We used to have an avocado tree in our front lawn but it eventually was uprooted by a very strong typhoon.. and we also make this to the avocado, it is really good. My grandma used to do it a few hours before mealtime, and takes it out after we have our meal.. YUM! So sweet and cold..
