This Spud's for You

There are some ugly foods out there. Would you want to eat this? That my friends is the classic English dish, Toad in the Hole, and, on second thought, don't answer that because I know some of you diehard carnivores would enjoy it.

But that kind of proves my next point. Sometimes the ugliest foods are actually the best. The sweet potato is kind of unnatractive. Like all root veggies, it has the unnatractive dirt spots and sometimes the roots still attached, which frankly remind me of hair. Gross. But the sweet potato is one of my top 5 foods.

Similarly this is a mess, but it is likely the type of mess that after I tasted it, I would want to eat the whole pile of chocolatey goodness.

I guess that old adage, don't judge a book by its cover is true for food too. But there's no way I'm putting this 'spotted dick' English dish in my mouth. Funny name or no, it just looks disgusting.
