Notes to answerer
Asker: Oh, thank you so much! I could not find "féroce" as a noun anywhere, well I have not tried it as food... although.

agree  writeaway: simple matter of looking it up. Of course probably useful if someone provides the English in this case/needs to be "parsed" correctly for the gloss. naturally it's féroce d'avocat and not just un féroce, which is meaningless.

  -> Thanks writeaway.
agree  patrickfor: Yep. One could also add (ferocious) as that's exactly what it means, but I guess any anglophone will make the link without any help.

Féroce


Explanation:
I would leave it as it... or possibly "Avacado 'Féroce' "

"Féroce d'avocat is a mixture of avocado, cassava flour and a spicy sauce... only countries that are French or were once ruled by the French make this dish."

agree  patrickfor: j'aime pas le "désigne" je dirais plutot "fait référence", féroce ici désigne un plat pas une force. mais le nom du plat fait référence à la force du piment.
