MANILA, Philippines — If there’s anything Filipinos love more than hot, steamy champorado on a chilly morning, it’s making fun of anything and everything under the sun. BREAKING: Caucasians discover champorado https://t.co/7o30SCL9Rm — Gym Kardashian (@gigidensing) March 18, 2018Filipinos are abuzz after the New York Times released an article titled “Yes, Adults Can Have Chocolate for Breakfast. Really,” detailing the step-by-step process of making “chocolate oatmeal,” which sounds suspiciously like the Filipino breakfast table staple. Some trace the origins of champorado to the galleon trade between Mexico and the Philippines which started in the 16th century. It was said that Mexican traders brought with them knowledge of making champurrado, a thick chocolate drink often served with churros.
