8 Ugly Foods That Taste BEAUTIFUL

Pie floater, Australia

This Aussie classic certainly isn’t the most sophisticated-looking dish around, but that’s not to say it isn’t delicious.

Cincinnati chili, USA

Far saucier in appearance than chilli served elsewhere in the US, Cincinnati chili is distinguished by its gravy-like, clove, nutmeg and cinnamon-infused sauce, and by the way it’s served.

Douhua, China

Made from a mix of soy milk and gelatine (or other setting agent), douhua is a smooth, softly set tofu pudding that’s eaten across China.

Stinky tofu, Taiwan

Tofu comes in many forms, and stinky tofu might just be the most bizarre-looking (and smelling) version of all.

Laverbread, Wales

Deeply rooted in Welsh history (and often affectionately referred to as ‘Welshman’s caviar’), laverbread isn’t a bread at all, but rather a slow-cooked paste made from seaweed.

Haggis, Scotland

A thing of beauty haggis is not, but there’s a reason why the Scots are so vocal in their appreciation of this dish.

Cendol, Southeast Asia

Said to have been enjoyed in its earliest form for around a century, cendol certainly has staying power.

Jellied eels, UK

Jellied eels were hugely popular in London in the 18th century, when an abundance of eels in the River Thames made them a cheap and accessible foodstuff for the East End working class.
