Champurrado and Tuyo
Photograph by Eiliv-Sonas Aceron, 2018
 

Traditional foods from the Philippines, champurrado is a thick, sweet chocolate drink made with rice, commonly served for breakfast. It is often paired with tuyo, a salted, sun-dried fish, creating a sweet and salty combination enjoyed in Filipino households. The pairing is said to have originated from the need for a hearty, comforting breakfast to start the day, often enjoyed by farmers and fishermen after early morning work.
