Yup, it's another food thread. This time, I'm asking what foods either have:
A) A ridiculously putting-off name
B) Looks awful
but they taste damn delicious anyway. This is obviously a subjective list. For me though, it's definitely faggots.
I'm not being offensive either! That is the actual name of the food item my mum simply loves, but which I poke fun at her for eating each time. Faggots are basically meatball - type things made from pig's heart, liver and other offal. Delicious.

Bonus points! For the "Brain part"
Other foods with unfortunate names include Spotted Dick, and a fish called Pollock, which was renamed Colin in Sainsburys (http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/store-renames-fish-to-spare-embarrassment-1663389.html) to not offend customers. Haven't stopped the Faggots lasting on though.
Finally, we have what has become a running gag now between me a PapStar, that of Balut. The below image is slightly disturbing, but imagine that cooked.

I remember PapStar's mum lapping a balut up, as if it was really really tasty. Interesting diet, the Philippines have.
But now, what foods do you really enjoy, but have an embarrassing appearance or name?
