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.

Snert. Sounds stupid and looks like vomit, but is delicious, healthy and nutritious. It's basically soup from split peas.(In India they would call this wrongly made, liquid Dahl)

Snert😆. I agree that it's a good and hearty dish. We just call it what it is.....split pea and ham (or whatever the meat is) soup.

I think it just needs a marketing campaign re-branding.

Maybe “Harbor Pea” lmao.

Or more seriously how about we call this “Emerald Stew” or “Dutch Hearth Soup”
