===============

Food is so much more than sustenance. Curious foods from exotic cultures have always fascinated us. Unfamiliar foods can be delicious, or they can be more of an acquired taste. While cultural differences often separate us and create boundaries, food can also connect us. Sharing a meal is the best way to turn strangers into friends.

The evolutionary function of disgust is to help us avoid disease and unsafe food. Disgust is one of the six fundamental human emotions. While the emotion is universal, the foods that we find disgusting are not. What is delicious to one person can be revolting to another.

Disgusting Food Museum invites visitors to explore the world of food and challenge their notions of what is and what isn’t edible. Could changing our ideas of disgust help us embrace the environmentally sustainable foods of the future?

The exhibit has 80 of the world’s most disgusting foods. Adventurous visitors will appreciate the opportunity to smell and taste some of these notorious foods. Do you dare smell the world’s stinkiest cheese? Or taste sweets made with metal cleansing chemicals?

EXHIBITED DELICACIES INCLUDE:​

• Surströmming – fermented herring from Sweden.
• Cuy – roasted guinea pigs from Peru.
• Casu marzu – maggot-infested cheese from Sardinia
• Stinky tofu – pungent bean curd from China.
• Hákarl – well-aged shark from Iceland.
• Durian – infamously stinky fruit from Thailand.

A new temporary exhibit with disgusting alcohol is launched on Saturday, September 5, 2020. The exhibition includes Soviet-era surrogate alcohol, the 55% beer End of history sold in a taxidermied squirrel, South Korean poo wine, and Icelandic sheep dung smoked whale testicle beer.

You had me at poo wine.

maybe it’s like those expensive coffee beans that some sort of raccoon shirts out and is actually a delicious refined delicacy

I also wonder what the pretentious description for this wine would be:

oaky, with a distinct aroma of cocoa and smoke, undercurrent of winter mulling spices, a lingering note of black pepper with the definite taste of feces

Can’t be a whole lot worse than the fermented product some Culture made by having a group of men spit in a bucket until it’s full. Well maybe it’s worse but I’ll take someone’s word for it.

Chitterlings need to be on the list. Let's take the poo sac, apply heat to it, then eat it.

I could be on Survivor Island, with nothing left to eat but chitterlings and I would gnaw on my own fingertips before I ingest some warmed poo sacs.

There is probably a whole wing dedicated to peas.

like the consistency

Should have closed this thread after the OP. While there are various things I like/dislike, there is nothing so disgusting as peas. They should be eradicated. They are vile. Don't put them in things, don't serve them on their own, don't wreck a perfectly good holiday dinner by bringing them in the house.

Disgusting, vile, legumes. Bleccchhh

It’s poo AND testicles

I’ve had chitterlings exactly one time

at Thanksgiving in Dallas with my girlfriend’s family

her mom made them. My girlfriend said that you just can’t eat anyone’s chitterlings, they need to be made by someone who knows what they’re doing.

if you have chitterlings that haven’t been cleaned properly one time you’d never try them again even if your life depended on it

these were cleaned well and the taste wasn’t that bad honestly (they smell like holy hell being cooked though)

kind of a buttery meaty taste

but the texture (rubbery) and the knowledge of what they were was enough to never want to have them again
