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

    One of the most delicious dishes I've had as a fan of curry though I've only ever eaten it at a Malaysian restaurant and not homemade.

    This is a pretty normal aesthetic for food in South and South East Asia so it looks amazing to me..Seems like the appearance of food is very culturally subjective.

    I am by no metric an expert, hell I am barely proficient, as I found a recipe online after I got back from Malaysia, but it's somewhat simple. It just takes a lot of time and a lot of ingredients that isn't easy to find where I live.

    That is the problem I find with a lot of more complex Asian dishes. It's impractical to stock a bunch of ingredients for 1 meal that I otherwise won't use for anything else. Obviously got soy sauce and curry powder though.

    But I have loads of rosemary and sage as that grows in my garden. Goes nicely with roast potatoes.
