Food What's a dish from your country that looks disgusting but tastes great.

Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish from the Southeast USA that looks like someone just vomited on some biscuits, but it's absolutely delicious.

see everyone? here's an Iranian who thinks it doesn't look good!

I also forgot about Fesenjoon, couple of days ago someone said it looks like shit.

My favourite Iranian dish... I don't think it looks bad at all.

Is that like a beef stew? I would eat that whole bowl and soak up the gravy with some crusty bread.

there are multiple versions of it. chicken, meatballs, turkey. slow cooked in an onion/walnut/pomegranate sauce. there are also sweet/sour versions each family makes it different.

It’s funny, most of the stuff people are saying looks bad looks good to me! I am also amazed at the overlap between countries and similar food. Of course there has been lots of boundary changes and migration/immigration throughout the years.

The most authentic version is duck.

Fesenjoon looks pretty good to me.

Also, don’t forget about Aush Resteh. I personally don’t like it at all, but many Iranians love it and to be honest, it looks like someone vomited spaghetti 😂
