Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

    Spam. When it comes out of the can, it looks like a disgusting gelatinous blob. But when you cut it thin and pan fry it, it’s actually pretty tasty.Pretty much any canned meat. Ever seen a whole canned chicken? Although most canned meat doesn’t taste nearly as good as fresh. But there really isn’t a “fresh” spam. So I think it fits the question. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/CW0NEJ/luncheon-meat-on-plate-CW0NEJ.jpg

      Vienna Sausages are similar. I love those things, but you have to rinse the slime off before eating.

        The dog thinks it looks and smells like dog food at any stage of the cooking process.

      Fried spam with some cheap yellow mustard was a regular Sunday lunch. Usually with some boxed waffle mix topped with watery mapleine homemade “syrup”.
