We've all been there. We're faced with a plate of food that looks like alien sick or something scavenged from the back of god knows where. But for whatever reason, we've tried it. And sometimes, you get a nice surprise.

I mixed avocado with dorito salsa and it's made a rather nice guacamole-like sauce. It sounded like a nice idea, but it does look like sick. BUT it is rather nommy.




So what have you tried that tastes a lot better than it looks?

Pics welcome . . . maybe . . .

Rice Pudding looks seriously disgusting.

But I find it delicious.

Anything with squid's ink in. You try it thinking it'll taste like pen ink, but actually it's pretty good.

Chicken Feet in a yummy black bean sauce, NOMMMMM

[DannyW94]

Porridge always looks like gloop in a bowl but I think it tastes great with fruit on top

[seanfromtheblock]

passionfruit looks like snot, but is pretty nice.

[JustCharley]

Shepherds Pie mixed up with baked beans. Looks like sick, tastes insane.

[cardine92]

Cabbage, bacon (not rubbish little slices, a slab of bacon) and gravy. Proper Irish peasant food but it's awesome.

[GeneralOJB]

Green leafy vegetables!

Mexican food tends to dead sloppy but tastes so so nice. Best nachos in the world:

Scrambled eggs,

Stir fries. Curries. The latter resembles something that comes out of you rather than going into your mouth.

porridge, kebabs, rice pudding and jam
that's as far as i've went
if something looks gross i usually won't try it!

I once ordered some octopus on holiday, thinking it was going to come yknow, looking like any other meat, cut up and stuff. It came as a couple of FULL tentacles, complete with sucker pad things attached Thought it was hilarious but it tasted amazing actually!!! I'll post the picture if I can find it sometime.

Moussaka. Not the prettiest of dishes but my god it tastes good.
Passionfruit, looks like snot, one of the best fruits ever.
Houmous, let's be honest, it looks disgusting but it tastes fantastic.

I made this sausage and kidney bean stew that vaguely resembled lumpy cowpats, but it tasted damn good.

I had octopus last time I was in Greece, I had to ask whether you eat it whole or you take the suckers off

Still, it was rather nice

Similarly, a squid looks disgusting but Calamari is among my favourite foods.

Something that my Mum came up with that she gave the name Creamy Muck Muck (which if anyone remembers Dick and Dom in da Bungalow it might give an idea to its looks). It looks a bit like brown diarrhoea. It is a cook in sauce (e.g. Cottage pie cook in sauce out of a jar), frozen mash potatoes, frozen peas and sweeetcorn and then some stewing steak. It is all put into the slow cooker and it kind of disintegrates into one sloppery substance. But it is so nice, especially on a cold day

Lamb's liver is actually delicious. I've never understood the hate it gets.
