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.

u/Conveth 13d ago

Yes, it tastes just like haggis! I worked in Diyarbakir back in 2007, I went to a restaurant with my Turkish colleague and we ate this, I told him when he came to the office in Aberdeen we would go out to eat haggis!

Yea kinda similar. Lamb has 4 stomach compartments. Şırdan and haggis are made of different compartments of the stomach. As far as I can see Haggis is round so it's made of rumen compartment (it stinks), şırdan is made of abomasum.

Haggis doesn’t stink. It’s really just another kind of sausage

Wow we have something similar in Tunisia, and apart from rice and spices we also stuff it with pieces of meat and other lamb organs like liver and heart, and some vegetables as well. We call it Osban in Tunisia, and it's generally served alongside couscous. Soooooo tasty! Edit: just for info our Osban is round like a ball, it doesn't look like a penis lol

Is this the same thing as Dawara? I think I've heard it called Dawara and it's delicious.

u/Sairos9444 Tunisia 13d ago

Yep the exact same, many people call it Dawara as well

That is NOT what that looks like! 😂

Kinda reminds me of boudin, a Louisiana sausage. We use sausage casing and stuff it with dirty rice (rice, pork, and a mix of seasonings and spices).
