We take it for granted, but the appearance of food influences our perception of its taste. Researchers took an ordinary tasting steak dinner and used food coloring to only change its look. Blue steak, black asparagus and green mashed potatoes, though tasting perfectly fine, disgusted most of the diners.
Here's something that had a similar effect on me. In 1993, SNL produced a fake commercial, riffing on a then new product, Crystal Pepsi. This pie instantly reminded me of that ad. Enjoy.

That looked like someone pouring melted aloe Vera or coconut oil over their shit so that's pretty gross lol

But yeah, the color thing makes sense. I mean scientists often claim that the reason women have better color vision is because they spent more time trying to determine which fruits etc were okay to eat. The color of food triggers our brain's instincts about whether it's safe or whether it's likely to kill us or make us violently ill
About 1 in 12 males have a color blindness issue, while woman are about 1 in 250.The fascinating part is that, apparently, some women, exclusively, seem to manifest an amazing ability to discern 100 million colors as opposed to the average 1 million normal people can detect. The article I read mentioned a physician who could see otherwise imperceptible shades on people's faces that helped her in her diagnosis. Another example was a seemingly gray river, fed by multiple streams, that appeared as an entanglement of distinct shades to one of these super color vision owners AKA as tetrachromats. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20140905-the-women-with-super-human-vision
It's a loop, and either someone walked past a light source or something like a ceiling fan was breaking up reflected light and it's refracting in the clear gelatin. If you look in front of the pie you can see the reflection in the plate also cycling.
imma throw a punch!
