Chinese "Thousand Year Old Eggs" would seem to come in to this category.
The outside is transluscent, I think this was the shell, the next layer,
the white, is brown and the yolk is even darker brown.

I have to disagree about Sheperd's Pie.  Nothing awful or messy about that.
Barbecued things with sauce tend to be very messy but usually not simply
wonderful.  You get a little tough meat with lots of sauce which tastes
of vinegar, tomato ketchup, lighter fluid and yet more vinegar.
