Ghanaian Shitto sauce. Silly name, looks like the output of extreme gastro-intestinal distress, but is an absolute God-tier condiment.

Poutine
For the looks good but tastes awful category I'd go with fondant.
Haggis
Durian looks like it would be good, but it's awful. The garlic aftertaste is the worst.
I found out after I tried it that there are different varieties. The one I had smelled kinda like rubbing alcohol but tasted somewhat like honeydew
Scrapple.
I first had it at a diner in Philly. I tend to try things I might not get a chance to try elsewhere and so I asked what scrapple was. I was told it was better not to know and just eat it. Delicious.
Escargots
Escargot is just a medium for butter.
And garlic. Yum!
I frequently watch videos of people from outside the US trying biscuits and gravy for the first time. Every one starts with “I’m not trying that disgusting slop” and ends with “I want to eat this every day for the rest of my life”
Random pic from the Internet for reference.
This was my experience with poutine before and after visiting Canada. No one truly gets it until they've had it. The real stuff. Not shredded mozzarella over fries.
White cheddar cheese curds/squeakers over fries with piping hot brown gravy poured directly over.
Now I live in Canada and eat it all the time.
I have not found a better hangover cure than biscuits and gravy.
Well, except moderation of course, but you know... the everything.
Hashbrowns covered in chili, cheese, and sausage gravy. Aka the waffle House smothered hashbrowns
Waho is almost cheating, everything there is great hangover and drunk food
Monja doesn't fit the criteria 100% because it looks all but taste OK at best. Seriously looks like sizzling vomit and I hate the way you're supposed to eat it with that stupid ass spatula. All that for mediocre taste. Monja is my least favourite Japanese food.
Papadum with tamarind chutney
SoS (chipped beef on toast)? Don't know because I have never tried it.
My grandfather (served in WWII and Korea) LOVED this. He'd add soy sauce to the chipped beef, thus explaining his two heart attacks.
Absolutely!! It’s my favourite. Can’t get the beef here in canada so i always bring some back from the states when i visit.
Shit on a Shingle, I though that was beans on toast.
I believe it was a wwii army thing and definitely creamed chipped beef. Beans on toast sounds very British so maybe different foods were called that.
I guess the beans on toast was because my mom was Irish and heard of it through my dad and probably never used chipped beef, so did beans instead.
