What "poverty food" is actually really delicious?

In the Philippines, one example of “poverty/peasant food” is called Dinuguan. It is a Filipino savory stew made out of pork offal, simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili and vinegar.[1]

It is often eaten alongside rice. It is somewhat similar to the black pudding of Britain and Ireland but its appearance and preparation is more similar to Czernina, a Polish soup.

The most important ingredient in the dish is pork blood, which is used as a mixture for the broth.

Other than rice, it can also be eaten alongside puto and tuyo (fried fish).
