The more you learn about them the more you begin to appreciate them. Either way, they are beautiful aesthetically. Just because your high school biology limited you to plants and animals doesn't mean they are disgusting or odd.

I never had this, I'm just another westerner talking out of his ass, but every time I watch stuff involving balut people are only grossed out before they eat it. Once it's in their mouth and swallowed they usually feel a lot better about it. Apparently there is no crunch even though you're eating the fetus.

Recently discovered Trader Joe's has lowkey delicious dolmas and they come in cans of ten each. $2

SPAM looks fucking nasty but it's surprisingly pretty tasty.

>>8210446
Grapeleaves are the opposite for me, I think they look delicious but I never liked them any time I tried them (just too salty/sour, which is strange since I like sour foods).

Anyway, Indian and Mexican food often looks terrible but taste delicious.

The leaves are brined first. You could have cooked your own first.

The reason I like dolmades so much is they remind me of something in my Southern heritage. Boiled GREEN peanuts. Nearly all of the peanuts sold premade as boiled peanuts uses mature raw peanuts that are boiled in salted water that has cajun seasoning, kind of tough, and horribly overseasoned, you're just drinking cajun flavor and can't even taste the peanuts.
Doing it the old fashioned way which is far more expensive, uses fresh from the ground very perishable green immature peanuts which have a short season and mold over if not used within a week. Green peanuts have a gooey nutmeat inside the shell that is not just the peanut but this cushy thick lining. The salted water permeates into the shell lining and the peanut both, and reminds me greatly of the flavor of grape leaves when you munch on a cold batch from your fridge that took hours to make. Nothing better with an ice cold beer.

My mom's a pretty shitty cook, but she makes some dank dolmathes. Since we're Armenian, she stuffs the leaves with beef (with just a little bit of rice and some greensspices) and also serves them alongside cabbage wraps too.

Then we top it off with sour cream mixed with garlic and it's fucking delightful. We also make stuffed zucchinis, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc. with the same filling and it's all mouthwatering.

Pic related is not mine but it's basically what it looks like.

OH shit other Armenians, waddup dudes. Im Parskyhye too. Not who you were replying too

here's a lamb curry with butternut squash added. Was good desu

>>8217402
Parev, Akhper!
The curry looks really good actually. Did you try to make Persian rice as a side?
And how did you make the sauce? You use a paste? I personally avoid pre-made shit and make curry bases myself.

Na, was some cumin/turmeric rice i made. I'm looking for a good recipe to make Persian rice. My mom explained it to me but i forgot

The paste was something i concocted together after reviewing a bunchof curry paste recipes online. It has the following:

>Garlic, ginger, shallots, tumeric, lemongrass, mexican red chiles, cloves, coriander (seeds), cilantro, cinnamon, cumin, a little canola oil, salt, and pepper
