Bon Appetít caused a stir when the outlet published a "reimagined version" of the dessert halo halo. And instead of giving the dessert a proper tribute, The outlet ended up whitewashing the Filipino dish.



The magazine called for ingredients like a mash of banana and brown sugar, mashed berries with lime juice and salt, and even suggested topping it all off with gummy bears and popcorn -- a far cry from the traditional components. The outlet published all this without giving much insight into what the actual dessert looks like and for many of it's readers, this is unfortunately probably their first introduction to the food.
