But, like... are they supposed to look that unappetising?
Edit: I'm not trying to be insensitive to cultural differences (I'm Balkan, we have plenty of weird dishes), I just approach all food from this appeal factor, regardless of origin, and my only hang-up is that I cannot consume organs (brain included) - my body physically rejects any ingested organ. Yes, I peel my sausages (heh).
Fair point, we eat smoked slabs of pig fat (not bacon, just a layer of fat with the skin still on it) over here, guess that doesn't sound all that appealing either when showing/talking about it...
I sincerely apologise if my ignorance caused offence, and thank you for clarifying!

Jesus Christ, the meatballs look like something from Scorn... And that hot dog is just... no. Just fucking no.

It's Asian style meatballs, an entirely different beast than western ones.

Yeah, that's how they look. I guess appeal is subjective, I'm used to them looking that way so they just look good to me.

Oh, thoroughly agreed! Hot dogs are 90% impervious to messing them up as a dish, yet there we have The Horror!

If you liked the wiener and balks you wouldn’t have to ask why.

Balls look alright, that hot dog looks like it's dying of anemia though :<

No they do not. They look like clay lol

Those are Asian style meatballs, they're typically boiled and put into soups like pho or used in hot pot. That's what they look like.

Fuk me, that is the ugliest food I've seen in a bit. I had to come back to this post and look again.
