unappetizing
Not at all tempting
Unappetizing describes food that fails to stimulate the appetite—it looks, smells, or sounds unappealing: The cafeteria's unappetizing gray meat sat untouched.
The word extends to anything that repels interest or enthusiasm: an unappetizing prospect, unappetizing details about the scandal.
