Some of those dishes looks a lot like the meals I prepare myself now. Presentation is not my strong point. Throw it in a bowl, nuke it, then down it quickly without looking at it.

Yes, refried beans and smashed sweet potatoes mixed and heated are not that bad. Life of a diabetic.
One of Elvis's favorite dishes.

Tell me about it. Jellied eels are a traditional English dish that originated in the 18th century, primarily in the East End of London. The dish consists of chopped eels boiled in a spiced stock that is allowed to cool and set, forming a jelly. It is usually both served and eaten cold.
The residue from the cooking has parsley added, it's then heated and poured over another East London favourite, pie & mash. The residue is known as the liquor, not to be confused with something alcoholic of the same name.
I can reassure you that there is at least one Londoner from the East End that gets grossed out by pie & mash and liquor.
