A museum where people can taste and smell the world’s most “disgusting” foods opened today.
The pop-up Disgusting Food Museum features delicacies from all over the world, from Peruvian frog smoothies to Sardinian maggot cheese.
The museum, in Malmö, Sweden, is also exhibiting bull penises, fruit bats, sheep eyeball juice and spicy rabbit heads.
Some of the 80 exhibits will be familiar with a UK audience, as well. Haggis and liquorice are included.
Most items are real food, with some replicas and a few displayed as videos. Many of the real foods are “smellable” and some are available for tasting.
Curator Samuel West said: “The Disgusting Food Museum is authentic. We exhibit real foods, some of the foods can be smelled and tasted, and it's as educational as it's fun.
“Which is more disgusting, eating a guinea pig or a regular pig? Is there really any difference? The museum aims to a change our view of what is disgusting or not.
"Ideas of disgust can change with time. Two hundred years ago, lobster was so undesirable that it was only fed to prisoners and slaves. Today lobster is a delicious luxury.
“Hopefully this makes us more open to the environmentally sustainable foods of the future.”
The museum will be open until late January.
