Velveeta "cheese" sauce.... so good

Menudo!! Hmmm... I could use a bowl right now.

Agree on Haggis and Guacamole.
Was afraid to try both at first but they're so good!

Stamppot is my favorite meal in winter. Traditional Dutch meal. Looks gross but tastes sooooo good!

Indian food. Looks very gross but is actually amazing! Pictured: Mattar Paneer

I love liver.

I also love chicken gizzards.

I hate chitterlings. I had it fried at a restaurant when I was a child. I liked it but only because it reminded me of chicken gizzards.

wow... that does look very unappealing. It makes me think of what the inside of our stomachs would look like after a meal.

Yeah...that's the problem with Indian food...it's striking resemblence to vomit. Pretty much most of the items on the Indian buffet resemble it in some form (with the obvious exception of rice, bread.) Makes it that much more difficult to recruit people to come along with you...

But honestly, it's really delicious! It just looks really gross. It's a hard thing to describe- kind of spicy and creamy. All this talk is making me hungry :rolleyes:

I've never had chitterlings, but I did sample tripe one summer when I was working at an Italian restaurant. It looked, smelled and tasted very gross.

There are better pictures, but overall it's not much worse looking than a stew.

Indian food is delicious. (But I've never thought it looked gross.)

I don't eat it anymore, but my dad and I loved potted meat on crackers.
Also...summer sausage. I crave it in the fall, but it looks awful and is so bad for you.:o

Oh man, Mattar Paneer....*drooool*

I've actually made my own paneer at home (super easy--boil milk, put in some lemon juice, curdle, strain into cheese cloth, press and eat/cook). I do miss being able to get it cheaply at a grocery store. Get with it, America!

I've tried Indian food -- I don't think I've ever had any I liked. I have friends who love it, but even my wife, who's not nearly as picky as I am, passes on Indian food.

To each his own.

What 'burgh are you in? In Pittsburgh they just closed one of my favorite Indian restaurants :(

When I was a child, I was the pickiest eater EVAR. I grew out of it and am now a pretty adventurous eater.

Indian food never looked "gross" to me, with two exceptions: dhal and paneer. I tried masoor dhal (the red one) and nom nom nom :) But most dhal is on my shit list, as is paneer.

Eel sushi initially looked disgusting to me, but I went out for sushi with a few friends, and we ordered an eel roll, and I was convinced to try a piece - nom nom nom. I have a limited tolerance, though - I'll eat one piece of eel sushi or I'll split a roll with someone, but I prefer other types of sushi.

Spinach-cheese dip. It looked like someone mowed the lawn and put cheese on it, but sooo good!
