One day after school, my friend and I decided to take the train over to Sweden to see their Disgusting Food Museum. It is just that, gross food from around the world. Or at least gross to you. America was represented as well with Poptarts and jell-o.
Escamoles (above)- so gross. Below are casu marzu, a Sardinian pecorino cheese with live maggots; the Durian fruit; Pork Brains (American.)
Adventurous Andrew smelled it all. He may not eat much of anything, but he smells everything.
Much discussion over who was brave enough to touch the bull penis. Only Andrew managed it. 
I decided I would try everything, why not? When would I get another chance to try all this gross stuff again. I defiantly wouldn’t ever be ordering it off any menu. Andreas and his vomit bucket awaited me. Below are just some of the stuff I tried. Andreas kept pulling stuff from underneath the counter for me to sample.
Hákarl is Icelandic fermented shark. It was awful, one of the worst. The surströmming (fermented Swedish herring) was the actual worst. The bugs were fine, I’ve tried similar things before. The bigger ones though are awfully dry and hard to get down without water. The Danes love their salt licorice, I do not.
All the stinky cheeses. Smelly and strong. If you are a big fan of stinky cheeses (I am not), these maybe wouldn’t be too bad. Maybe…
Some of the other offerings included the century eggs and durian fruit. The egg was not as bad as it looked. The durian smelled worse then it tasted, and it tasted bad.
Don’t let this fool you. They didn’t try anything really. I think they ate some of the dried bugs (which my kids have tried before), and this pic is of them trying root beer. 
Make that 28 days. Going in I didn’t think I was going to throw up, but after a couple….
We finished the day with dinner at the kid’s favorite Malmö restaurant, the Surf Shack. Burgers, fries, and all you can drink cokes and slushies.
