Well first off - this tastes better than what it looks. 
It actually wasn't bad... when I was putting it together, I kept thinking... "Geez, this looks different. But I've eaten (separately) everything I've put in here so it can't be that bad...", and it wasn't.
I enjoyed it, was a little different at first, but I got over it and finished it off!


My kids (teens) on the other-hand, they didn't even want to try it (the look threw them off). I told them the ingredients but still... ah-well means I get left-overs! ;-)
