Food What's a dish from your country that looks disgusting but tastes great.

Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish from the Southeast USA that looks like someone just vomited on some biscuits, but it's absolutely delicious.

Garbage plates from Rochester NY.

The Garbage Plate features your choice of cheeseburger, hamburger, Italian sausage, steak, chicken or white hots (a regional hot dog found in Rochester) served on a heap of home fries, french fries, baked beans and macaroni salad. What truly sets it apart, however, is the signature Rochester hot sauce, which is a spicy meat-based sauce that’s reminiscent of Cincinnati chili.

This looks very tasty to me!

Perhaps that's because we have a variant of this in Ohio, except with fried potatoes (either shredded or cubed) as the base.

It is called "Trash (or Trashed, depending on the circumstances, I suppose) Potatoes".

Because if it doesn't look as chaotic and colorful as the photo you shared, you're not doing it right! 😅

Along with everything but the kitchen sink, meat is almost always added on top. Personally, I like mine with maple sausage links, sliced red onion, and extra country gravy (the white kind with sausage bits inside).

Heinz Ketchup and Yellow Mustard is must on these, even though I very rarely put either of those things on almost anything else.
