Question of the Day: ______ looks better than it tastes.

Meringue cookies, the real hard ones. What's with them? Save the calories, no matter how few! (I'll take Caley's word on haggis and lutefisk...)

Fresh Cranshaw melon with a squeeze of lime...Oh, heck, just combine all the fresh ripe melons you can find. That works on a hot day!

Err.. cupcakes. I'm guilty of baking lots and lots of them, and even though they tasted good, the main reason people love them is their appearance. I'd say 99% commerial cakes look better than they taste. Seriously, opera cake, sacher torte.. *yawn*

Canned nacho cheese. On the tastes-better-than-it-looks: liver and onions.

ANYTHING with cilantro. Honestly, I don't know how people eat the stuff.

maasikas - I agree on the black and white cookies, but every once in a great while I hit a good one...forcing me to keep trying.

The birds near my home have eaten a lot of bad black and white cookies missing just one bite!

Beets: lovely color, taste like dirt. (Except, oddly, at a Swedish restaurant near me. I have no clue was to how they dedirtify them.)

Watermelon!

I HATE cantaloupe. The smell of it makes me sick, and I can't eat anything that it has touched (ie, fruit salad or a fruit bowl) because its pungent juice gets all over everything else and the taste of it makes me gag. I think this is a result of having eaten bad cantaloupe a few years back and now I'm scarred for life.
