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

A good split pea soup, for sure.

Edit: and macarons look super pretty but taste..meh? Imo. Like if you were to imagine what Barbie food tasted like, it’d be a macaron.

Yep, I was gonna post this.

Split pea soup just actually looks like literal vomit or diarrhea, has a very, very weird texture to it visually...

... but if you do it right, it just tastes amazing.

I dunno who your macaron guy is but I've had some absolute bangers.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Agreed, Barbie is a meringue at best.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Dutch Pea Soup is the absolute best. My girlfriend calls it fart juice

Macarons are awesome. That light airy slightly crispy "bun" things plus the creamy middle. Based on the comments I wager I put a lot more emphasis on mouth feel than a lot of people here.

To be clear, you mean the French sandwich cookies, not macaroons, right?

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yes. Coconut macaroons are S-Tier cookies, especially when the bottoms are dipped in chocolate.
