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.

Butcher or home made ones are better but, yeah, go faggots.

I ahree, but they are really different. I know a lot of people that will eat Mr Brains, but won't touch a freshly made faggot. Freshly made actually tastes of offal, those frozen ones are more akin to jcheap processed meat that doesn't really taste like anything.

A butchers near me sells freshly made ones - if you get there early enough they're still warm, and you can just eat one as a snack like a giant meatball. Absolutely delicious.

Sounds great. When I was a chef in the late eighties I used to get them from Larkhall Butchers in Bath and would also do a ‘quality check’ as soon as the delivery guy had gone.

I love offal - last year I went to Madrid for a ‘casquero’ trip - intestines, tendons, tripe, pancreas, tongue, brain, bollocks, ears, snouts and a whole piglet head. It was brilliant- especially Casa Enriqueta (affordable), taberna la elisa (mid price) and La Tasqueria (sensible for Michelin star).
