At the end of January in the city of Malmo, Sweden finishes its work unique Exhibition of disgusting food (otherwise it is also called museum). The organizer of such an unusual event Samuel West I agree with reporters that this is still an exhibition, not a museum, since she has a limited period of work – three months (opened on October 31). However, the official name is a museum.
What is remarkable about this insert, is it really demonstrated on it food that should not be consumed, for example, poisoned and missing? By no means, in this strange museum in Malmö, dishes from of the whole world that may seem disgusting only to an ordinary European, but not to those who use it and still sometimes pays a lot of money for such a treat.
Among these “delicacies”, for example, mine-Luwak coffee, whose uniqueness lies in the fact that its grain pre-fed Mustangs (Luwak, as they are called in Indonesia, where they produce mostly unusual coffee), and then extracted from litter and dried. Having passed such a digestive tract coffee takes on a special taste. Real foodies pay for it huge money, the demand for such a product significantly exceeds sentence. However, the true connoisseurs of coffee drink believe that mine-Luwak is simply advertised or even by accident built up to the only thing, in fact this coffee loses a lot compared to natural. But rich and zombie people often pay not for quality, but for prestige, a rare brand and others “virtues” of this drink, which have nothing to do with real the taste and aroma of coffee.

In South Africa, the organizers of the exhibition found a dish of caterpillars mopane. Despite the fact that this “masterpiece” of culinary art is completely It looks unattractive, in fact it is tasty and very useful because it is an excellent source of iron and unique proteins that are so lacking in man’s current diet.
By the way, some Europeans are not far from the Africans, since the Italian cheese Kasu Marzu with islands of sardinia. This dairy product is literally teeming alive larvae of a cheese fly. They can, of course, before use delete, but true gourmets do not. What do you think, why?..
And how do you like the dish of the hakarl island state of Iceland, representing semi-dried, semi-rotten meat of Greenland or a giant shark, a dish that the Vikings still ate?

Swedes also did not stay away from this “wonderful feast “, presenting his national dish surströmming – pickled herring in a special way, why does it get incredibly pungent taste and “somewhat disgusting” smell. IN in the Middle Ages, such a dish was prepared here due to lack of salt, why the fish did not salt, but fermented in a special way.
In total, about a hundred disgusting were presented at the exhibition dishes, and their assortment changes almost daily, therefore in the freshness of these unique snacks, drinks and so on can not doubt. But in everything else, as they say, it tastes and color … However, the exhibition showed the main thing: how much different taste preferences among different peoples and different people.
The success of the event was overwhelming, so Samuel West reasonably suggested that such events will now be held regularly, at least once every few years.
