Looks like slop, tastes like a party in your mouth.
Babar Ganesh!
So we can add hummus and... probably lots of other sauces / dips as well.
My candidate might be guacamole, which looks like it could almost be toxic ooze at first sight.
Honestly a lot of Mexican food looks kind of rough. Molé sauce looks like something you'd have to eat during a fraternity hazing. Birria, looks greasy and almost violently red. Nachos even, are not the most appealing food. But they're all amazing. So much flavor. The texture is exquisite despite appearances. Largely we've learned to maybe adapt our visual palates, I feel.
I honestly believe that the Mexican cooks invented the burrito because everything inside, especially mushed together, looks fucking gross. But if you wrap it in a tortilla so you don’t have to look at it, it tastes fucking awesome.
