It looks and sounds horrible...But tastes GREAT!

[JerseyRich]

I'm sure some of you have foods that you eat that other people find horrendous and simply disgusting. I'm not talking about foods that most people like...(ie- Gvac hates cheese and celery) I'm talking about something that you look at and say to yourself, "I really shouldn't like this at all, but it's too damn tasty not to LOVE!"

Here's is my lunch today:
http://www.richstillwell.com/RF/sardines.jpg

Sardines(canned in olive oil) with Ketchup on an Onion Roll...toasted .

So delicious. But honestly, even the picture of it kinda grosses me out.

What do you eat that you think tastes great but looks or sounds nasty?




mmmm...It really was fuckin' tasty.

[Dude!]

that would have been good
if you had used mustard instead of ketchup

Lets be honest Jersey Rich is a cold fish eating weirdo.

I will try that next time and report back. The ketchup is just a standard for me.

I eat toast. I find it to be tasty.

Hungarian Goulash

Kettle Goulash is the best, almost the only time I will eat beef though I make it with pork when I make it at home. It makes it so tender that it falls apart.

It's actually less fishy than tuna. I suggest that you buy a can of them (in olive oil or in water) next time you're at the market.

It's time we give Sardines a chance. Here's an article for ya.

I can't think of anything at the moment, but my brother's best friend put ketchup on apple pie.

that dish/sandwhich whatever you call it looks like something out of a horror movie.

I love chicken livers (especially in dirty rice). It doesn't really look or sound all that horrible, but I love alligator.

I thought long and hard about this (5 seconds) and the only thing I could think of was peanut butter and honey sandwhiches. I love food and will try most anything, but I guess I have bland taste buds.

It's very good with honey, if you don't mind the sweetness. I like when the honey crystallizes and hardens into the bread.

We used to eat peanut butter, honey and wheat germ sandwiches on homemade whole wheat bread when I was a little kid.

Frankly, without peanut butter I think we'd have starved when I was a kid.

Not quite on topic BUT Who was the first person to decide an artichoke would be something good to eat? They appear to be the least likely thing to be edible with its sharp pointy leaves and all but man do I love an artichoke particularly stuffed,

Along the same lines: durian. Looks unappealing from the outside and smells like shit on the inside.

I love putting red raspberry preserves on my turkey sandwiches.

Before you turn up your nose, it's not really that much different from cranberry sauce if you think about it.

I also have made peanut butter and preserves pasta.

[TheMojoPin]

I don't know about "sounding" horrible, but for me the runaway winner with looking horrible and tasting amazing is beef stroganoff. All the versions I've had either look like an incredibly violent and sloppy shit or like someone just barfed up their last 3 days' worth of meals...yet they all taste phenomenal.

[Mullenax]

Sounds and looks awful: Burger King ribs. I got them to be silly, but I'd get them again.

I love beef stroganoff but it makes me tummy gurgle. Bad bad gurgles.

[weekapaugjz]

My chick was telling me the other day of her love of a grilled fried egg and peanut butter sandwich. It sounds vile.

[Contra]

I had a whole (gutted and cleaned) fried fish, head and all, at a farmers market in LA. I had a pic in my old cellphone, I wished I saved it. Everyone I showed the pic to thought it looked disgusting, but it was delicious!

Soljanka - Solyanka Soup

mostly tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, bell peppers, spices and loads of cold cuts chopped up... we used to make it after parties a lot because people would have lots of leftover cold cuts from platters so they would use them in the soup.

It gets topped with some sour cream and lemon sprinkled on.

It's also sold in cans and was very popular in the East as it originates somewhere in Russia.
I only like it when it's made with certain cold cuts/ wursts, some of them are disgusting (like Blutwurst) and I would not touch this.

You know, Mettwurst comes in fine and coarse and the coarse kind does look a lot like this, though what I am referring to is more like steak tartar just no egg and stuff in it. I love Teewurst though which is a very fine mett

[boosterp]

Well I like olive oil and water.. whoohoo!

They also make sardine paste which is good to use in asian dishes. You use very little but it adds an amazing flavor yet smells like shit alone.

I love chicken livers (especially in dirty rice). It doesn't really look or sound all that horrible, but I love alligator.

Love the dirty rice, just smells like shit when preparing the livers.

:lol:

It's very good with honey, if you don't mind the sweetness. I like when the honey crystallizes and hardens into the bread.

As a kid this was my favorite snack.

Yup, I prefer the fine mettwurst...the coarse will have on occasion have a piece of sinew that gets caught in your teeth. There's a local deli who makes their own and its AMAZING. The perfect balance of salt, smoke, fat and whatever other ground snouts or hooves they put into it.

Sounds like you'd also like semmelknodel, schinkenspeck, weisswurst?

I can kind of understand not digging the weisswurst (a fan of the darker sausage are ya? :wink: ) but schinkenspeck is pork goodness. Treat it like prosciutto and wrap it around some honeydew melon is tasty!


Hooker pussy.
Never liked the idea of that. Licking where someone else just laid pipe seemed a touch nasty.

On the plus side it looks pretty much the same on its encore visit.

though speck is bacon and I cannot stand bacon

I've also lost my love for maranara sauce, except when it's involved in some parmesan dish.

Hell, I hate tomatoes. I can't enjoy Chicago style pizza because of the chunks of tomato.

Personally, I'm partial to scones with clotted cream, which was a taste I acquired on a week-long visit to England in 1995.

Someone mentioned beef stroganoff earlier ... and, along the same lines is chicken paprikash, which is also known as chicken paprika hendl.

It's one of my favorite comfort foods ... and I hate chicken.
