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?
