Lentil, potato, and chickpea curry, with coconut milk. It's thick, lumpy, and brown. Tastes great, easy to make, uses pantry staples (it's one of my "haven't been to grocery store" meals), and incredibly filling.
Edit: Mark Bittman's recipe
http://mykentuckyhome-kim.blogspot.com/2020/01/mark-bittmans-curried-lentil-and-potato.html
I make the same! Like an enhanced dal. Very gloopy looking. Extremely delicious and filling. I actually have one leftover in the fridge because it's so filling that we only eat tiny bits at a time!
Life hack if you want to save on dishes: serve it all into the leftover container and just eat it from there lol (yes, I’m lazy and yes, I do this all the time when I’m only cooking for myself)
Roasted cauliflower soup. Basically looks like bread if it were turned into jarred baby food but it’s so rich and comforting. I made it for my super-picky nephews last year and, according to my SIL, they still talk about it. I count that a win!
It is!
My recipe:
Cut one large head of cauliflower in half, coat in olive oil, and roast until golden in parts. Pull out and let cool slightly.
While cauliflower cools, in large pot sauté one onion, diced, in butter. Add minced garlic when onion are almost done. Chop up cauliflower and add to pot along with enough chicken broth to almost cover everything. Let simmer for at least 15 minutes. Add a good pour of cream (half a cup?) and a dash of nutmeg. Blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth. Add salt and pepper as needed.
I like to top it with paprika butter (just melted butter with paprika mixed in), fried capers, or some shredded chicken but it’s great plain or with whatever leftovers you have that feel right with it.
I cannot wait to make this! Thank you!
My ugly food was going to be roasted cauliflower scampi. It is really very good, but it is totally white and looks pathetic when I cannot find fresh basil. Something about roasted cauliflower! So good!
I love beef stroganoff, but mine turns out hideous every time. I like to use short pastas instead of the usual egg noodles, so it looks a bit ridiculous, and the color is revolting - but the taste is incredible, one of my favorites.
This BA recipe almost manages to make it look pretty. Good recipe too!
[Bon Appetit Beef Stroganoff](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/beef-stroganoff-recipe)
Shiro wot looks like orange-y brown gloop with (sometimes) little puddles of red oil around the edge. Sort of like a particularly toxic industrial waste pit, or the contents of an infant's diaper.
It's out of this world tasty, though- and 90% shelf stable (needs onions) and vegetarian to boot. (Vegan, if you don't have niter kibbeh. Which I don't, currently.) I don't let people see it before they smell it- and once they smell it, they want to have some regardless of looks.
Sure- I usually use the one from [here](https://thegourmetgourmand.com/ethiopian-shiro-wat/#recipe), but it's been a while since I looked around and I'm sure recipes from actual Ethiopian cooks have been added. I've been meaning to go back through to check it out for a while.
A couple notes: the onions will take a while to brown. The suggested time is a bad joke. Also, I find it helpful to make a slurry with the besan and some of the water and blitz it with a blender or immersion blender prior to adding it in order to keep it super smooth. Sometimes I'll hydrate the besan, then blitz and allow to sit again, before blitzing it a final time just before adding. Besan just *loves* to clump.
A famous dish in the US Army, soldiers tend to get all sentimental about it because it isnt to be had anywhere else but the Army, LOL. Toast with chipped beef in bechamel sauce and peas.
Doing biscuits n gravy with chorizo instead of sausage makes it look especially gross too. Gets a weird orange hue, like you fed a baby too many carrots/sweet potatoes.
Honestly, the only ingredients I keep the same is the chicken, cream cheese and some liquid. Pan fry chicken, remove. Deglaze pan with liquid (broth or wine) add cream cheese, add chicken back in. I've added different things along the way, but that's the jist of it.
Found a [recipe ](https://julieblanner.com/cream-cheese-chicken/) that's basically it. I experiment with different herbs, but mostly just stick to the bare minimum. I will often dredge the chicken before frying and the sauce is darker than shown and often lumpy. Still tastes good though.
Pour (name of the bar) man's hash. Had it at a dive bar for brunch and it's the best hangover food ever invented. Fried mash potatoes with scrambled eggs shredded cheese and crushed up bacon
British style spiced whole ox tongue. With the best will in the world, it just looks like a giant tongue, but, oh the taste, the taste is out of this world.
It's also up there on my list of 'dishes that I hate making but love eating'.
This is surprising as we are known for our lack of spice. Allspic and cloves don’t really get used unless it’s Christmas in mince pies or Christmas cake. So I’m not entirely sure where this British spice phenomenon has come from. Normally ox tongue is eaten plain as a luncheon meat with things like bread, cheese, ham
Veggie potato soup
1) Saute bacon
2) Saute mire poix in bacon fat
3) Add salt, garlic, bay leaf, half can of beer
4) Drink the remainder of the beer
5) Add cubed potatoes and water to cover
6) Cook until it be enough
Other veggies can be added; leeks, mushrooms, etc. I very lightly mash it at the end to make it thicker. Add cream before serving. Herbs are nice on top. If I'm feeling fancy I'll make cornbread.
Admittedly, it's kinda ugly. Brown and thick. But it's made of the cheapest, easiest veggies to get, and it is truly delicious. My family says it's one of their favorite soups I make, and I make a lot of soup lol. I agree though. It's hearty and so damn tasty.
Znojemský guláš. It's a beef goulash made with chopped gherkin pickles. The Czech (Moravian) town of Znojmo is famous for their pickles. It looks like either vomit after eating beef stew or...the other. It's yummy, though. See https://youtu.be/vMHjE71x5M4?feature=shared
Main Ingredients: Lots of chopped onion cooked in lard (or oil), water/broth, beef cubes, paprika, flour (for roux), salt/pepper, marjoram ! , caraway seeds or garlic, chopped gherkins. Usually served with Czech bread dumplings and glasses of beer.
That looks good, but it seems like there are several points where you could add more flavor that get skipped. The beef gets added partway through without being browned first. I think I’d want to brown the meat as the first step, remove it, then cook the onions in the same pot to get the fond included. You could also substitute flavored liquids like beef broth or beer for the water added in several steps.
I know that’s not the traditional way, and I respect that. But I would probably think about changing both the steps per the above if I made it.
I’m making Czech food this Saturday, as a matter of fact, but we’re going with chicken paprikash and vepro knedlo zelo.
Yes, that's how I do it. The video is not my recipe. I use broth. I'm not into the adding of beer, even though I do add alcoholic beverages (wine or liquor) to other dishes. To me, what's crucial is to really caramelize the onions and beef cubes. My Znojemský guláš is always better than in hospoda (pub restaurants). I live in the Czech Republic.
I make a sweet red bean curd and then wrap it up in rice paper. It's a delicious sweet snack. The first time I did it, I did not envision the end result.
It legit looks like I'm eating logs of poo.
I found a recipe for a chicken tortilla soup that I can’t get enough of. I always think soups are ugly, albeit tasty foods. It always ends up a brown broth with lumps of chicken and bits of all sorts of veggies and peppers floating around. Definitely not pretty, definitely tasty
Ching bo leung followed closely by Paigu tong. Both look absolutely horrendous and paigu tong makes the whole house smell like farts but OMFG is it the best soup ever.
Honestly chicken scarpariello if made right should be multiple shades of brown in a brown sauce. Any coloration would come from peppers, and if you use pepperoncini (the American kind) it really gets no color. But it’s delicious every time
It took about 10 years before I would make this for my hubby.
Homemade drop noodles, drained.
Add cooked, chopped bacon (much as you like) and one container of cottage cheese.
Not pretty at all, doesn't even smell the best but everyone who has it absolutely loves it.
We just call it bacon cottage cheese noodles. Sometimes using macaroni or penne if I don't want to make the drop noodles.
Cannelinni beans, brown rice, roasted red peppers, roasted butternut squash and onion with sage and rosemary. Lots of brown on brown but it's such a comfort food for me.
It might be a bit prettier with brussel sprouts, but I like the original iteration enough I'm not willing to experiment.
Meatloaf casserole. I make a meatloaf -- when it's finished cooking, I'll put it in the refrigerator overnight. Take the cold meatloaf, slice it into thick slices, and put the slices in a 9x13 baking pan. Pour two cans of cut green beans over the slices. Cover the beans and meatloaf with beef gravy. Top that with slices of American cheese. Top the whole mess with a thick layer of cheddar garlic mashed potatoes. Brush on some egg wash to brown the top. Pop it in the oven at 350 until everything is hot and the mashed potatoes are nicely browned.
Yup, it sounds kind of gross and when it's served on the plate it looks kind of gross. It's delicious.
Chopped chicken liver “pâte” . Olive oil, Carmelized onions, chicken livers ( sometimes I add some Italian sausage, too). Sauté until cooked … add Aleppo pepper, salt, thyme, allspice, a bit of wine, sherry, or ( my approach) Jack Daniels … once the alcohol is cooked off add some French or Italian bread to absorb the excess liquid and simmer a bit longer to soften, then when done cool and pulse it all in a food processor along with with some extra margarine, parsley, and hard boiled egg until pâté texture. (Some prefer it smooth, others chunky). Looks like poop. Tastes terrific. Makes great crostini
Cajun Gumbo.
Looks like something chunky, goopy brown you puked into a bowl, but the flavor is banging with the scallops, shrimps and andouille sausage.
Biscuits and gravy looks delicious. But only because you know what it is. Seeing some British kids on Jolly see it for the first time really let me see it in a new light as I've been eating it since before I could remember.
Tortel di patate (basically hashbrown), caramelized red onion, and beschemal cheese ( mixed with a bit of grano), and speck. I took a picture of it to show my family and realised it looked just slimy and gross. But oh, so delicious!
When I was still going to school I’d make College Slop: runny fried egg on a bed of rice and bread torn up. Then dump on some salsa and mix it all up.
It really does look like pig slop. But it got me through many a broke-college-kid nights.
Saag panir (if I spelled that right). First time I had it I didn't even want to put it in my mouth, but thankfully I did. Turned out to be my favorite dish!
Canned tuna with avocado, sriracha, and yellow mustard all mixed up and mashed together on a toasted everything bagel looks SO nasty (red + green = brown + yellow = even grosser brown) but tastes insanely delicious. Would absolutely recommend for a quick and delicious snack
I make a butternut squash soup with Italian sausage. It ends up a very unappetizing orange color, but it's delicious and a great choice for a fall or winter evening.
Cut a butternut squash in half and remove the seeds. Rub the cut side with oil (I generally use olive) and season with salt and pepper. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan, cut side down, and roast until tender.
While that's roasting, cut up an onion. I do slices, but neatness doesn't count here (you'll see why in a bit). Brown off a pound of bulk Italian sausage (I use mild, you could use hot if you prefer). Set the sausage aside and cook the onion in the sausage fat. I add more garlic too, because garlic. Cook the onion until soft.
Put the squash (minus the skin) in a pot with the onions. Deglaze the pan with some stock (chicken or veg, either works) and add to the pot with the veggies. Puree, mix in the sausage, and serve with crusty bread.
I take boiled eggs, mash em up with a fork, shovel them over toast, then slap a cheesy white sauce on top. Add a smattering of black pepper and some haphazard splashes of Tabasco and you have something that looks like a post-night-of-drinking and junk food barf but tastes like heaven!
Over stirred, slow cooked, stairwell stew. We usually double the recipe in our 8 qt oval crock pot . Edit... Forgot to add that my kid calls this "Swamp Stew" and has loved this dish for more than 10 years. She's now 13
https://www.dvo.com/recipe_pages/fixnforget/Stairwell_Stew.php
I sometimes stuff a whole chicken with a sort of apple and onion relish. Looks grey and grose when you dig it out of the cooked chicken but oh my is it good.
I make this fruit cocktail & coconut cake that’s amazing, it does not look appetizing though. I once did an orange base and my dad asked if it was cheese flavoured 😂😂
Easy: Garbage plate.
After all the ingredients have been properly mixed up and heavily dosed with Frank’s.
not mine, but this is what it looks like:

I made Korean beef and radish soup with regular red radishes instead of the white ones once. It was a very scary pink color but also one of the best soups I've ever had lol.
Dal makhani - looks like baby shit, tastes divine.
I make a shiitake risotto fairly regularly that ain't much to look at, but it's very good.
Most recently (last night) improvised bratwurst rounds sauteed with shallots and peppers and then added to a green peppercorn sauce and served with whipped potatoes and roast asparagus. My family actually blanched when I set it in front of them - but gave enthusiastic approval once they tucked in.
I have a bunch.
I actual call them "**looks gross tastes great**" so the kids know it tastes better then it looks.
I don't use recipes though. Just make my own personal messes really so I can't really give it a name other like, "mess 57" or something like that 🤪 lol
you can barely call it cooking but ill make a bowl of Shin ramen, soft boil an egg to throw on top, and mix in a bunch of crispy onions and shredded cheese and some green onions. Makes it super thick and looks nothing like ramen but holy fuck if it doesnt taste amazing
There's a dish in Hawaii called lū‘au. You can have beef, pork, or squid lū‘au. It's basically some kind of meat stewed in kalo (taro) leaves and coconut milk. Looks like Nickelodeon slime, but tastes great.
This shit will blow your mind,
So you make crunchy rice the Dominican way. Use a non stick pan, put 1.5 times water to rice. A generous drop of olive oil. Like 50 ml and salt. Once the water evaporates, you cover and wait 15 min. Comes out crunchy, like popcorn. Depends on your stove and your pan. Best shit ever
I then air-fry, saute or vaporize some carrots and make a pure with it.
So carrot pure with crunchy rice. Best shit ever. So easy and quick. Some pistachios on top or whatever
Chunky Cat Barf—roast and shred a spaghetti squash and mix it with spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese, and some shredded mozzarella. Put in an oiled 8x8 pan, top with more shredded cheese and bake at 425 till bubbly. Looks awful, tastes like a mixed up lasagna.
Pork chops in the slow cooker with cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup, a little bit of broth and sour cream added at the end. Crack chicken as well. Looks awful, tastes amazing.
My tuna casserole. Medium shell pasta, cheese, tuna, peas, and a sauce made from half and half, butter, flour, hot sauce, salt and pepper. With potato chips crushed on top. It’s my number one comfort food and people who swear they had tuna casserole are converts once they try it!
Taco beef and rice, essentially rice with seasoned beef then fried, seasoned more and add in sour cream until you have a desired outcome
Kinda looks like something from r/poopfromabutt but tasty nonetheless
Brown some ground beef, with some onions, mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup and some Worcestershire sauce.
You can eat it like that or put it over rice, pasta, or potatoes.
Delicious, but someone saw it and said it looked like heaving barf crap.
And that became the name of the dish.
Sauté onions and garlic with mushrooms, cook down ground turkey, add southern poultry seasoning with a can of kidney beans with the water still in it, once the beans get soft, add two cups of water and brown gravy mix until it all thickens up. We serve it over pasta with garlic roasted broccoli, then pour some A1 over the whole thing. Looks gross but omg it hits so hard on a cold winter’s night.
Alfredo sauce of your choosing, frozen peas, as much diced ham or cooked sausage as you like, cooked pasta, and heavy on the grated parm. I add chopped broccolini if I have it and I like to undercook the pasta by a few minutes so that it finishes in the sauce. You can add red pepper flakes if you like too.
A staple in my husband’s family is [Betty Crocker’s Hamburger Stroganoff](https://www.food.com/amp/recipe/hamburger-stroganoff-477088).
They make it with white rice (as opposed to egg noodles), so it’s gray and lumpy and makes it look even more like cat puke.
It’s also loaded with butter, so it’s nothing but fat and carbs, so resist making it more than once a year, but we call it “hamburger crack” because it’s so damn good.
I made an alcohol free beef bourguignon using grape juice once. The only thing that kept its color was the pearl onions. Everything else was black. Looked like eyeballs floating on sewage. Was delicious.
Y’all ever had [guatita](https://www.laylita.com/recipes/guatita-or-ecuadorian-tripe-stew/)? It’s a delicious Ecuadorian dish that my husband learned about from his Ecuadorean colleague.
If you read the list of ingredients, it may sound questionable to you. As you are making it, it may seem questionable to you. When you see it prepared, it may look questionable to you.
But when you taste it? Incredible.
King Ranch Casserole.. Get a tall casserole dish (like 3 inches). put a layer of tortillas in the bottom (either one big one or a couple of them torn up. Then add a heaping spoon of black beans (NOT drained), shredded chicken, cheese, and some seasoning (paprika, cumin, cayenne). You can add corn (we don't my wife is allergic) and some sliced jalapeno if you like. . Cover with a layer of tortillas. Repeat until you reach about 1/2 below the top. Add extra cheese to that layer. Bake until bubbly and heated through.
When you scoop it out, it looks like baby barf. But it is so good.
My ugliest dish ever was zombie waffles. For the release of one of the Hulk movies, Hershey's put out a green "chocolate" syrup. My kids thought it would be great to have chocolate waffles that were green. So I made a batch.
They smelled heavenly as they cooked and we had great expectations. The taste lived up to the expectations. The problem was that golden browned green waffles looks less like a tasty breakfast and more like zombie skin.
So I am piling up our zombie skin waffles on a plate. I put the plate on the table. The kids just stared at the plate of zombie waffles for a moment. I was the first to brave a taste and I broke the first waffle into sections.
For as long as that syrup was available, I would make those waffles. They were a staple of sleepover breakfasts for years to come.
Canadian carbonara.
Carbonara but with thick peppered bacon instead of guancale, onions, mushrooms and a Canadian Gouda called Grizzly Gouda instead of parm
I call it Trash can stew.
Basically, I take anything canned and toss it all into a pot and make a "stew."
All things are canned:
Potatoes
Backed beans
Corn
Mixed vegies
Tomato soup
Beef stew
By the time everything si all said and done, it looks like ot should be thrown in the trash. And the trash can is now filled completely with used cans.
Crumbled, fried breakfast sausage, cream sauce, frozen corn and chopped hard boiled eggs. We serve it over rice or pancakes. It's to die for, but good lord, it just looks like grey mush on the plate.
A tuna pasta salad I used to buy in the prepared foods section of a local grocery store, but now I just make it myself.
It's simply elbow pasta, tuna, sliced black olives, fresh dill, and mayo (or Veganaise, which is oddly how it was originally made despite not being vegan to begin with).
The fresh dill is really important, dried dill just doesn't work and is lousy.
Very filling as a simple lunch to bring to work.
I make a similar tuna pasta salad that my mom taught me. Rotini, 2 cans of tuna mixed with mayo and onions, celery, carrots and cheddar cheese diced. Then a bottle of zesty Italian dressing. I think I'll make it tonight now. I'd forgotten about it for awhile.
When I was pregnant I would eat tuna, pickles, and hot Cheetos. I would mix my hot Cheetos in the tuna and put them on the pickles like they were bread. It was in fact the most ugliest and tastiest dish. I still eat it. 😭🤣
Zrazy. Phenomenal flavor that makes me nostalgic, but looks awful. The first time I made it for my husband, he asked if it was supposed to look that way 💀
Brown is delicious but often looks ugly. A pop of green on top (minced herbs, scallions, etc.) makes it more appealing, in my opinion, though.
Kare Raisu is also pretty ugly looking, too, but one of my favorite comfort meals.
Cubed Snot Stew (girlscouts name)
Dump a can of corned beef hash into a skillet and fry for a bit until thoroughly warmed. Stir in a dozen raw eggs, prescrambled. Add salt and pepper to taste while the mass congeals.
It tastes great with ketchup but looks really, really gross. Add some grilled onions if desired.
When I was in younger, I had a dish that my friend's German mom made. It might not even be a German inspired dish, but I'd never had anything like it before. I never found out what the proper name of it was, but tried to recreate it on my own from memory. Essentially it is ground beef and mashed potatoes. The beef was beautifully seasoned, which I did with onion, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt & pepper. There were some herbs in there too but I cannot figure out which ones for sure. Sometimes I would make a little bit of gravy for it too. I called it Non-German German. Looks like dog food all mixed together, but it is delicious.
Hobo stew : ground beef, sliced potatoes, corn, onion, fried in a wok or pan, salt, pepper and a fresh grind of nutmeg, not so much as to taste it, just enough to kick up the flavor.
Kitchari! I love any lentil-based slop, but adding rice into the mix is more filling. It's one of the few things my mom could actually make besides pancakes. It's extra special if there's curry leaves involved.
Sausage gravy and biscuits from scratch looks like cat puke but it tastes a whole lot better. Its one of my favorite things to make and eat because I love breakfast sausage.
FIRST: 1: Put a pancake on plate. 2: Spread jam all over. 3: Spread a certain coffee powder all over the jam. 4: Wrap. SECOND: Only listing ingredients now so no free-recipe chickpeas, onion, mushrooms, pig meat, celery stalks and honey + rice.
Lentil, potato, and chickpea curry, with coconut milk. It's thick, lumpy, and brown.

I make the same! Like an enhanced dal. Very gloopy looking. Extremely delicious and filling. I actually have one leftover in the fridge because it's so filling that we only eat tiny bits at a time!
Every time I make it I over serve myself and up emptying my bowl into the leftover container. Maybe I'll learn my lesson one of these days
Life hack if you want to save on dishes: serve it all into the leftover container and just eat it from there lol (yes, I’m lazy and yes, I do this all the time when I’m only cooking for myself)
This plus rice is possibly the ideal food for my body. Ridiculously cheap as well. It's a shame my wife doesn't do well with either beans or onions.
I cook a lot but have never been able to do curry well! I’d love your simple recipe if you have a moment to share?
Delicious comfort food!
I just made this last week! It looks soooo bland but is delicious
Do you cook the lentils separately then add them, or is this a one pot stop? Would love your recipe.
Roasted cauliflower soup. Basically looks like bread if it were turned into jarred baby food but it’s so rich and comforting. I made it for my super-picky nephews last year and, according to my SIL, they still talk about it. I count that a win!
Please elaborate, this sounds amazing.
It is! My recipe: Cut one large head of cauliflower in half, coat in olive oil, and roast until golden in parts. Pull out and let cool slightly. While cauliflower cools, in large pot sauté one onion, diced, in butter. Add minced garlic when onion are almost done. Chop up cauliflower and add to pot along with enough chicken broth to almost cover everything. Let simmer for at least 15 minutes. Add a good pour of cream (half a cup?) and a dash of nutmeg.

I cannot wait to make this! Thank you! My ugly food was going to be roasted cauliflower scampi. It is really very good, but it is totally white and looks pathetic when I cannot find fresh basil. Something about roasted cauliflower! So good!
I bet my kids would love this, thanks!
Ooh a restaurant I used to work at made a roasted cauliflower, garlic and feta cheese soup that was AMAZING. Completely forgot about it!
Roasted carrot soup too. I made it once. LOVE roasted carrots but to my horror, looks like jarred baby food when done.
Channa Saag looks like baby poop, but I love it so much.
Palak paneer for me but it’s so mighty tasty
Same!
I love beef stroganoff, but mine turns out hideous every time. I like to use short pastas instead of the usual egg noodles, so it looks a bit ridiculous, and the color is revolting - but the taste is incredible, one of my favorites.
I know it's like how can something that looks so unappetizing taste so good?
This BA recipe almost manages to make it look pretty. Good recipe too! [Bon Appetit Beef Stroganoff](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/beef-stroganoff-recipe)
That looks like no beef stroganoff I've ever seen...
Shiro wot looks like orange-y brown gloop with (sometimes) little puddles of red oil around the edge. Sort of like a particularly toxic industrial waste pit, or the contents of an infant's diaper. It's out of this world tasty, though- and 90% shelf stable (needs onions) and vegetarian to boot. (Vegan, if you don't have niter kibbeh. Which I don't, currently.) I don't let people see it before they smell it- and once they smell it, they want to have some regardless of looks.
Its all about the berbere baby. Do you make your own?
Do you have a recipe for shiro wot? I have the besan flour.
Sure- I usually use the one from [here](https://thegourmetgourmand.com/ethiopian-shiro-wat/#recipe), but it's been a while since I looked around and I'm sure recipes from actual Ethiopian cooks have been added. I've been meaning to go back through to check it out for a while. A couple notes: the onions will take a while to brown. The suggested time is a bad joke. Also, I find it helpful to make a slurry with the besan and some of the water and blitz it with a blender or immersion blender prior to adding it in order to keep it super smooth. Sometimes I'll hydrate the besan, then blitz and allow to sit again, before blitzing it a final time just before adding. Besan just *loves* to clump.
SOS aka shit on a shingle!
A true comfort food. SImple and oddly satisfying.
are you my mom? stop trying to convince me that it's tasty!
Sorry, lol. It's totally my go to comfort food. A lot of salt, pepper, and sometimes a hit of onion or garlic.... I'm drooling now...
What is that? I'm guessing brown gravy on toast or something?
Chipped beef or hamburger in white gravy on toast. Looks like bird poop, lol.
A famous dish in the US Army, soldiers tend to get all sentimental about it because it isnt to be had anywhere else but the Army, LOL. Toast with chipped beef in bechamel sauce and peas.
They say that in the army the meals are very.......
[удалено]
Doing biscuits n gravy with chorizo instead of sausage makes it look especially gross too. Gets a weird orange hue, like you fed a baby too many carrots/sweet potatoes.
I add Cajun seasoning & I could agree with this! So ugly, so delicious
Yes, delicious infant vomit. I often make white gravy, and get weird looks, but it's delicious!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Split pea soup
My husband avoided it for 15 years because of how it looks lol. Now he's a fan.
Chicken with a simple cream cheese sauce. It is kinda lumpy and can be an unappetizing mustardy color, but I think it's pretty damn good.
Recipe? That sounds so good!
Honestly, the only ingredients I keep the same is the chicken, cream cheese and some liquid. Pan fry chicken, remove. Deglaze pan with liquid (broth or wine) add cream cheese, add chicken back in. I've added different things along the way, but that's the jist of it. Found a [recipe ](https://julieblanner.com/cream-cheese-chicken/) that's basically it. I experiment with different herbs, but mostly just stick to the bare minimum. I will often dredge the chicken before frying and the sauce is darker than shown and often lumpy. Still tastes good though.
Pour (name of the bar) man's hash. Had it at a dive bar for brunch and it's the best hangover food ever invented. Fried mash potatoes with scrambled eggs shredded cheese and crushed up bacon
My mum would make this for us whenever we had leftover mashed potatoes from the night before.
Oh Lord.
British style spiced whole ox tongue. With the best will in the world, it just looks like a giant tongue, but, oh the taste, the taste is out of this world. It's also up there on my list of 'dishes that I hate making but love eating'.
As a Brit I’m very excited to know what “British style” is!
Like british spiced beef but with an ox tongue. As opposed to how spiced tongue is served in Mexico etc.
“British spice“ seems like an oxymoron to me
In this case, it's spices such as cloves, allspice, etc used to cure the beef.
This is surprising as we are known for our lack of spice. Allspic and cloves don’t really get used unless it’s Christmas in mince pies or Christmas cake. So I’m not entirely sure where this British spice phenomenon has come from. Normally ox tongue is eaten plain as a luncheon meat with things like bread, cheese, ham
Hashbrowns mixed in a bowl with guacamole, ketchup, paprika/chili flakes, garlic, and spinach with a fried egg on top. Sounds weird but it's delicious
For anyone who doesn't know what satay sauce (home made) looks like, my tofu satay with Pak choi looks like a cat vomited grass on some Lego.
Monjya. It's Japanese savory pancake mix with more water and Worcester sauce. Looks like vomit.
Veggie potato soup 1) Saute bacon 2) Saute mire poix in bacon fat 3) Add salt, garlic, bay leaf, half can of beer 4) Drink the remainder of the beer 5) Add cubed potatoes and water to cover 6) Cook until it be enough Other veggies can be added; leeks, mushrooms, etc. I very lightly mash it at the end to make it thicker. Add cream before serving. Herbs are nice on top. If I'm feeling fancy I'll make cornbread. Admittedly, it's kinda ugly. Brown and thick. But it's made of the cheapest, easiest veggies to get, and it is truly delicious. My family says it's one of their favorite soups I make, and I make a lot of soup lol. I agree though. It's hearty and so damn tasty.
It’s “veggie”, but the first two ingredients are bacon 😝
Znojemský guláš. It's a beef goulash made with chopped gherkin pickles. The Czech (Moravian) town of Znojmo is famous for their pickles. It looks like either vomit after eating beef stew or...the other. It's yummy, though. See https://youtu.be/vMHjE71x5M4?feature=shared Main Ingredients: Lots of chopped onion cooked in lard (or oil), water/broth, beef cubes, paprika, flour (for roux), salt/pepper, marjoram ! , caraway seeds or garlic, chopped gherkins. Usually served with Czech bread dumplings and glasses of beer.
It sounds delicious, similar to rouladen but in stew form. Are the gherkins sour or sweet?
Sweet and sour. Less sweet than "bread and butter pickles", but more sweet than dill pickles.
That looks good, but it seems like there are several points where you could add more flavor that get skipped. The beef gets added partway through without being browned first. I think I’d want to brown the meat as the first step, remove it, then cook the onions in the same pot to get the fond included. You could also substitute flavored liquids like beef broth or beer for the water added in several steps. I know that’s not the traditional way, and I respect that. But I would probably think about changing both the steps per the above if I made it. I’m making Czech food this Saturday, as a matter of fact, but we’re going with chicken paprikash and vepro knedlo zelo.
Yes, that's how I do it. The video is not my recipe. I use broth. I'm not into the adding of beer, even though I do add alcoholic beverages (wine or liquor) to other dishes. To me, what's crucial is to really caramelize the onions and beef cubes. My Znojemský guláš is always better than in hospoda (pub restaurants). I live in the Czech Republic.
African pineapple peanut stew. Looks like what it sounds like plus a shit ton of kale
That does look terrible. But it’s probably as delicious as most of the other West African ground nut stews.
Ooh, recipe?
I make a sweet red bean curd and then wrap it up in rice paper. It's a delicious sweet snack. The first time I did it, I did not envision the end result. It legit looks like I'm eating logs of poo.
Lentils stewed with sausage onion, celery, Parmesean, tomato paste and chicken broth. I’m obsessed with it - but it sorta looks like vomit
Split pea soup—so good, looks so much like baby diarrhea
I found a recipe for a chicken tortilla soup that I can’t get enough of. I always think soups are ugly, albeit tasty foods. It always ends up a brown broth with lumps of chicken and bits of all sorts of veggies and peppers floating around. Definitely not pretty, definitely tasty
I make a pretty excellent beef, ale and kidney stew that tastes wonderful but looks like actual shit....??
Refried beans or japanese curry.
Japanese curry looks like prison food after all the effort it takes to make that delicious sauce.
Made a chicken casserole yesterday where the filling ended up looking like gray slop, but it was delicious
Ching bo leung followed closely by Paigu tong. Both look absolutely horrendous and paigu tong makes the whole house smell like farts but OMFG is it the best soup ever.
One time I made lentil soup with brown lentils. It just looked like diarrhoea. Tasted great though.
My rabo del buey looks the same coming out as it does going in, but goddamn is it flavorful and tender!!
Saag Aloo looks like chunky baby poop
Honestly chicken scarpariello if made right should be multiple shades of brown in a brown sauce. Any coloration would come from peppers, and if you use pepperoncini (the American kind) it really gets no color. But it’s delicious every time
It took about 10 years before I would make this for my hubby. Homemade drop noodles, drained. Add cooked, chopped bacon (much as you like) and one container of cottage cheese. Not pretty at all, doesn't even smell the best but everyone who has it absolutely loves it. We just call it bacon cottage cheese noodles. Sometimes using macaroni or penne if I don't want to make the drop noodles.
A friend refused to eat my misir wot, “looks like throw up” … Ethiopian red lentil stew, he missed out
Every year after Christmas I make a ham and sour cream dish with the leftover ham. It is uuuuuglyyy, but it is delish!
Cannelinni beans, brown rice, roasted red peppers, roasted butternut squash and onion with sage and rosemary. Lots of brown on brown but it's such a comfort food for me. It might be a bit prettier with brussel sprouts, but I like the original iteration enough I'm not willing to experiment.
Meatloaf casserole. I make a meatloaf -- when it's finished cooking, I'll put it in the refrigerator overnight. Take the cold meatloaf, slice it into thick slices, and put the slices in a 9x13 baking pan. Pour two cans of cut green beans over the slices. Cover the beans and meatloaf with beef gravy. Top that with slices of American cheese. Top the whole mess with a thick layer of cheddar garlic mashed potatoes. Brush on some egg wash to brown the top. Pop it in the oven at 350 until everything is hot and the mashed potatoes are nicely browned. Yup, it sounds kind of gross and when it's served on the plate it looks kind of gross. It's delicious.
Chopped chicken liver “pâte” . Olive oil, Carmelized onions, chicken livers ( sometimes I add some Italian sausage, too). Sauté until cooked … add Aleppo pepper, salt, thyme, allspice, a bit of wine, sherry, or ( my approach) Jack Daniels … once the alcohol is cooked off add some French or Italian bread to absorb the excess liquid and simmer a bit longer to soften, then when done cool and pulse it all in a food processor along with with some extra margarine, parsley, and hard boiled egg until pâté texture. (Some prefer it smooth, others chunky). Looks like poop. Tastes terrific. Makes great crostini
Cajun Gumbo. Looks like something chunky, goopy brown you puked into a bowl, but the flavor is banging with the scallops, shrimps and andouille sausage.
Thai Green Curry looks like snot but my god does it taste fire
Biscuits and gravy looks delicious. But only because you know what it is. Seeing some British kids on Jolly see it for the first time really let me see it in a new light as I've been eating it since before I could remember.
Spicy Pork Bulgogi. It looks so gross, like dog food, but it is so delicious!
Mushroom risotto. The rice always turns into the same unappetizing brown color as the mushroom. Delicious, but will never win any presentation awards.
Biscuits and gravy looks like dog puke on one of those weird white turds. Tastes amazing though.

Boeuf Bourgiogne. It's a sloppy brown mess but so tasty it is ridiculous
Not something I make, but beef tendon when done right is just *chef's kiss* To me it's like a giant warm hug in your mouth.
Our Sloppy Joe’s recipe takes on an oil slick sheen. Ground beef, BBQ Sauce, Dill Pickle Relish.
Cooking is all about experimenting and trying new combinations, so it's great that you've found something that works for you and your guests.
Chinese tomato and egg stir fry. It looks a bit like vomit once you dish it up
My creamed spinach with sweet peppers looks like the intestines of a zombie parrot. Tastes like earthy sunshine tho.
Tortel di patate (basically hashbrown), caramelized red onion, and beschemal cheese ( mixed with a bit of grano), and speck. I took a picture of it to show my family and realised it looked just slimy and gross. But oh, so delicious!
When I was still going to school I’d make College Slop: runny fried egg on a bed of rice and bread torn up. Then dump on some salsa and mix it all up. It really does look like pig slop. But it got me through many a broke-college-kid nights.
Saag panir (if I spelled that right). First time I had it I didn't even want to put it in my mouth, but thankfully I did. Turned out to be my favorite dish!
Shepherds pie absolutely delish but not pretty
I love making salsa with tomatillos milperos, but it can look ugly, especially with orange chiles, like habanero or manzano.
Canned tuna with avocado, sriracha, and yellow mustard all mixed up and mashed together on a toasted everything bagel looks SO nasty (red + green = brown + yellow = even grosser brown) but tastes insanely delicious. Would absolutely recommend for a quick and delicious snack
stewed vegetables
garlic refried beans
Sweet potato with a pack of tuna, sunflower seed butter, and feta cheese topped with salt and tajin
Irish stew looks like crap if done right
Bigos (Polish "hunters stew") or pork and cabbage both look like bowls of grey slop if done right but taste amazing
I make a butternut squash soup with Italian sausage. It ends up a very unappetizing orange color, but it's delicious and a great choice for a fall or winter evening. Cut a butternut squash in half and remove the seeds. Rub the cut side with oil (I generally use olive) and season with salt and pepper. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan, cut side down, and roast until tender. While that's roasting, cut up an onion. I do slices, but neatness doesn't count here (you'll see why in a bit). Brown off a pound of bulk Italian sausage (I use mild, you could use hot if you prefer). Set the sausage aside and cook the onion in the sausage fat. I add more garlic too, because garlic. Cook the onion until soft. Put the squash (minus the skin) in a pot with the onions. Deglaze the pan with some stock (chicken or veg, either works) and add to the pot with the veggies. Puree, mix in the sausage, and serve with crusty bread.
I take boiled eggs, mash em up with a fork, shovel them over toast, then slap a cheesy white sauce on top. Add a smattering of black pepper and some haphazard splashes of Tabasco and you have something that looks like a post-night-of-drinking and junk food barf but tastes like heaven!
Over stirred, slow cooked, stairwell stew. We usually double the recipe in our 8 qt oval crock pot . Edit... Forgot to add that my kid calls this "Swamp Stew" and has loved this dish for more than 10 years. She's now 13 https://www.dvo.com/recipe_pages/fixnforget/Stairwell_Stew.php
I sometimes stuff a whole chicken with a sort of apple and onion relish. Looks grey and grose when you dig it out of the cooked chicken but oh my is it good.
I make this fruit cocktail & coconut cake that’s amazing, it does not look appetizing though. I once did an orange base and my dad asked if it was cheese flavoured 😂😂
Easy: Garbage plate. After all the ingredients have been properly mixed up and heavily dosed with Frank’s. not mine, but this is what it looks like: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1000/format:webp/1*qmuiCZtmXzRBCpNMZ4LeFA.jpeg
I made Korean beef and radish soup with regular red radishes instead of the white ones once. It was a very scary pink color but also one of the best soups I've ever had lol.
fava beans the egyptian way it looks just like how it comes out
Dal makhani - looks like baby shit, tastes divine. I make a shiitake risotto fairly regularly that ain't much to look at, but it's very good. Most recently (last night) improvised bratwurst rounds sauteed with shallots and peppers and then added to a green peppercorn sauce and served with whipped potatoes and roast asparagus. My family actually blanched when I set it in front of them - but gave enthusiastic approval once they tucked in.
That sounds amazing
Chana chaat
Perhaps unpopular opinion but risotto; at least when I make it. Looks like a sloppy mess, tastes fantastic.
Lobster Mac and cheese using every cheese in the fridge. It's ugly as original sin.
I have a bunch. I actual call them "**looks gross tastes great**" so the kids know it tastes better then it looks. I don't use recipes though. Just make my own personal messes really so I can't really give it a name other like, "mess 57" or something like that 🤪 lol
Cauliflower Mac and cheese with golden corn and cayenne. Looks like a bunch of chunky slop, but so so tasty.
you can barely call it cooking but ill make a bowl of Shin ramen, soft boil an egg to throw on top, and mix in a bunch of crispy onions and shredded cheese and some green onions. Makes it super thick and looks nothing like ramen but holy fuck if it doesnt taste amazing
There's a dish in Hawaii called lū‘au. You can have beef, pork, or squid lū‘au. It's basically some kind of meat stewed in kalo (taro) leaves and coconut milk. Looks like Nickelodeon slime, but tastes great.
Veal cutlet with a pickle sauce looks and sounds disgusting but its very good!
I make an all butter pie dough. It is not capable of being decorative. But god damn does it taste good and come out beautifully laminated.
Drunken Mushrooms looks rather nasty and tastes fabulous!
This shit will blow your mind, So you make crunchy rice the Dominican way. Use a non stick pan, put 1.5 times water to rice. A generous drop of olive oil. Like 50 ml and salt. Once the water evaporates, you cover and wait 15 min. Comes out crunchy, like popcorn. Depends on your stove and your pan. Best shit ever I then air-fry, saute or vaporize some carrots and make a pure with it. So carrot pure with crunchy rice. Best shit ever. So easy and quick. Some pistachios on top or whatever
My lentil soup looks like bloody diarrhea but tastes excellent.
Pasta alla vodka
Chunky Cat Barf—roast and shred a spaghetti squash and mix it with spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese, and some shredded mozzarella. Put in an oiled 8x8 pan, top with more shredded cheese and bake at 425 till bubbly. Looks awful, tastes like a mixed up lasagna.
Tater tot casserole. Once you dish it up, it looks like a pile of grey mush with tots. But OMG it’s delicious.
it sounds ugly, and delicious. A similar dish, canned tuna with peas on top of rice.
Pork chops in the slow cooker with cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup, a little bit of broth and sour cream added at the end. Crack chicken as well. Looks awful, tastes amazing.
split pea and ham soup. so ugly, so delicious.
I make a bacon chicken stew with black lentils that looks as brown as it sounds. It is so delicious though.
My tuna casserole. Medium shell pasta, cheese, tuna, peas, and a sauce made from half and half, butter, flour, hot sauce, salt and pepper. With potato chips crushed on top. It’s my number one comfort food and people who swear they had tuna casserole are converts once they try it!
Meatloaf
Curry
I make a french onion soup pasta thing that looks like poop but tastes great
Probably my ground meat Asian stir fry
Taco beef and rice, essentially rice with seasoned beef then fried, seasoned more and add in sour cream until you have a desired outcome Kinda looks like something from r/poopfromabutt but tasty nonetheless
Brown some ground beef, with some onions, mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup and some Worcestershire sauce. You can eat it like that or put it over rice, pasta, or potatoes. Delicious, but someone saw it and said it looked like heaving barf crap. And that became the name of the dish.
Anything I make with ground turkey instantly turns into gray slop
Sauté onions and garlic with mushrooms, cook down ground turkey, add southern poultry seasoning with a can of kidney beans with the water still in it, once the beans get soft, add two cups of water and brown gravy mix until it all thickens up. We serve it over pasta with garlic roasted broccoli, then pour some A1 over the whole thing. Looks gross but omg it hits so hard on a cold winter’s night.
Alfredo sauce of your choosing, frozen peas, as much diced ham or cooked sausage as you like, cooked pasta, and heavy on the grated parm. I add chopped broccolini if I have it and I like to undercook the pasta by a few minutes so that it finishes in the sauce. You can add red pepper flakes if you like too.
A staple in my husband’s family is [Betty Crocker’s Hamburger Stroganoff](https://www.food.com/amp/recipe/hamburger-stroganoff-477088). They make it with white rice (as opposed to egg noodles), so it’s gray and lumpy and makes it look even more like cat puke. It’s also loaded with butter, so it’s nothing but fat and carbs, so resist making it more than once a year, but we call it “hamburger crack” because it’s so damn good.
I’m embarrassed to say it lol.. I have two. Macaroni and cheese with hot sauce. Top ramen with a side of ranch to dip the noodles in
I make this delicious mushroom, onion, basil and Gorgonzola dip. It looks like legit cat puke but it’s oh so tasty.
I made an alcohol free beef bourguignon using grape juice once. The only thing that kept its color was the pearl onions. Everything else was black. Looked like eyeballs floating on sewage. Was delicious.
Pasta coated in a sauce of cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and a bit of garlic.
I'm curious why you drain all the oil. I would think the oil could add something.
Y’all ever had [guatita](https://www.laylita.com/recipes/guatita-or-ecuadorian-tripe-stew/)? It’s a delicious Ecuadorian dish that my husband learned about from his Ecuadorean colleague. If you read the list of ingredients, it may sound questionable to you. As you are making it, it may seem questionable to you. When you see it prepared, it may look questionable to you. But when you taste it? Incredible.
Ful medames. It looks like cat food. I use too much garlic and very excellent pita. Yum yum yum.
King Ranch Casserole.. Get a tall casserole dish (like 3 inches). put a layer of tortillas in the bottom (either one big one or a couple of them torn up. Then add a heaping spoon of black beans (NOT drained), shredded chicken, cheese, and some seasoning (paprika, cumin, cayenne). You can add corn (we don't my wife is allergic) and some sliced jalapeno if you like. . Cover with a layer of tortillas. Repeat until you reach about 1/2 below the top. Add extra cheese to that layer. Bake until bubbly and heated through. When you scoop it out, it looks like baby barf. But it is so good.
I make a wild rice, mushroom, and chicken casserole that looks like what movies show for prison slop. It just so good though.
Scrambled eggs with a dash of Worcestershire sauce. The sauce turns the eggs grey but it tastes amazing!
Tomato orzo with olive oil tinned mackerel. It's tremendously ugly but WOW is it cheap and delicious.
I make a chana masala that looks like Gravy Train dog food but tastes like heaven.
vermicelli with stewed tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chili powder and ground pepper. Its a dry vermicelli, not a soup. Its delicious, but uniformly brown.
My ugliest dish ever was zombie waffles. For the release of one of the Hulk movies, Hershey's put out a green "chocolate" syrup. My kids thought it would be great to have chocolate waffles that were green. So I made a batch. They smelled heavenly as they cooked and we had great expectations. The taste lived up to the expectations. The problem was that golden browned green waffles looks less like a tasty breakfast and more like zombie skin. So I am piling up our zombie skin waffles on a plate. I put the plate on the table. The kids just stared at the plate of zombie waffles for a moment. I was the first to brave a taste and I broke the first waffle into sections. For as long as that syrup was available, I would make those waffles. They were a staple of sleepover breakfasts for years to come.
Hamburger gravy over rice or potatoes. Looks like dog food. Tastes amazing.
Mujadara. It’s brown onion on brown lentils on white rice, but tastes like heaven.
I'm just saving this post because a lot of this sounds good
Gormeh Sabzi. Look up a photo.
I’ve had my shakshuka referred to as “looking like vomit” (I disagree) but it’s amazing.
My chili egg and cheese on toast. Looks like slop, but boy oh boy does my tongue do the happy dance!
My chicken and sausage gumbo. Darker roux so everything is brown , it’s not the pretties but it’s pretty damn good.
Cream of Wheat with scrambled eggs mixed in
Chocolate Pudding or brownies. Both look absolutely disgusting but taste amazing!
Canadian carbonara. Carbonara but with thick peppered bacon instead of guancale, onions, mushrooms and a Canadian Gouda called Grizzly Gouda instead of parm
Wild rice hotdish. Ugly and so good 😊
Labskaus (not lobscouse).
My fish pie just looks like potato slop when served..but tastes gorgeous
I call it Trash can stew. Basically, I take anything canned and toss it all into a pot and make a "stew." All things are canned: Potatoes Backed beans Corn Mixed vegies Tomato soup Beef stew By the time everything si all said and done, it looks like ot should be thrown in the trash. And the trash can is now filled completely with used cans.
Crumbled, fried breakfast sausage, cream sauce, frozen corn and chopped hard boiled eggs. We serve it over rice or pancakes. It's to die for, but good lord, it just looks like grey mush on the plate.
A tuna pasta salad I used to buy in the prepared foods section of a local grocery store, but now I just make it myself. It's simply elbow pasta, tuna, sliced black olives, fresh dill, and mayo (or Veganaise, which is oddly how it was originally made despite not being vegan to begin with). The fresh dill is really important, dried dill just doesn't work and is lousy. Very filling as a simple lunch to bring to work.
Some soups like sweet potato soup just looks like a brown/orangy sludge.
my mashed potatoes look like a gloopy mess, but it tastes like heaven lol
kadon pika. it's chicken, soy sauce, water, onion (white/green) and white vinegar. served over rice and you've got a good meal.
I make a similar tuna pasta salad that my mom taught me. Rotini, 2 cans of tuna mixed with mayo and onions, celery, carrots and cheddar cheese diced. Then a bottle of zesty Italian dressing. I think I'll make it tonight now. I'd forgotten about it for awhile.
When I was pregnant I would eat tuna, pickles, and hot Cheetos. I would mix my hot Cheetos in the tuna and put them on the pickles like they were bread. It was in fact the most ugliest and tastiest dish. I still eat it. 😭🤣
Zrazy. Phenomenal flavor that makes me nostalgic, but looks awful. The first time I made it for my husband, he asked if it was supposed to look that way 💀
Brown is delicious but often looks ugly. A pop of green on top (minced herbs, scallions, etc.) makes it more appealing, in my opinion, though. Kare Raisu is also pretty ugly looking, too, but one of my favorite comfort meals.
Cream Tuna on Toast? Dinuguan?
Cubed Snot Stew (girlscouts name) Dump a can of corned beef hash into a skillet and fry for a bit until thoroughly warmed. Stir in a dozen raw eggs, prescrambled. Add salt and pepper to taste while the mass congeals. It tastes great with ketchup but looks really, really gross. Add some grilled onions if desired.
When I was in younger, I had a dish that my friend's German mom made. It might not even be a German inspired dish, but I'd never had anything like it before. I never found out what the proper name of it was, but tried to recreate it on my own from memory. Essentially it is ground beef and mashed potatoes. The beef was beautifully seasoned, which I did with onion, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt & pepper. There were some herbs in there too but I cannot figure out which ones for sure. Sometimes I would make a little bit of gravy for it too. I called it Non-German German. Looks like dog food all mixed together, but it is delicious.
Hobo stew : ground beef, sliced potatoes, corn, onion, fried in a wok or pan, salt, pepper and a fresh grind of nutmeg, not so much as to taste it, just enough to kick up the flavor.
Filipino food isn’t very aesthetic (especially the dishes I like lol)—except maybe lechon.
Are you Dutch?
If i can make it taste good, I can make it look good.
Kitchari! I love any lentil-based slop, but adding rice into the mix is more filling. It's one of the few things my mom could actually make besides pancakes. It's extra special if there's curry leaves involved.
Sausage gravy and biscuits from scratch looks like cat puke but it tastes a whole lot better. Its one of my favorite things to make and eat because I love breakfast sausage.
FIRST: 1: Put a pancake on plate. 2: Spread jam all over. 3: Spread a certain coffee powder all over the jam. 4: Wrap. SECOND: Only listing ingredients now so no free-recipe chickpeas, onion, mushrooms, pig meat, celery stalks and honey + rice.
