A museum is offering people the chance to try truly disgusting dishes – from rotten eggs to eyeballs.

But, according to the owner, many visitors enjoy some of the bizarre meals, particularly the insects.

Samuel West first launched the space, aptly named the ‘Disgusting Food Museum’ in 2017 to push a message of sustainability.

The exhibitions focus on the fact that disgust – one of the six fundamental human emotions – is universal.

What is delicious to one person can be revolting to another.

Visitors are invited to explore and challenge their notions of what is and isn’t edible.

“When I first opened the museum I was amazed at the impact it had,” he told What’s The Jam.

“Our current meat production is terribly environmentally unsustainable, and we urgently need to start considering alternatives.

“But many people are disgusted by the idea of eating insects and sceptical about lab-grown meat, and it all boils down to disgust.

“The shift to sustainable protein sources can be accelerated by subjecting the public to trying insects themselves.

“Therefore, if we can change our notions of what food is disgusting or not, it could potentially help us transition to more sustainable protein sources.”

The museum is located in Malmö, Sweden but there are other temporary exhibitions in Los Angeles, Nantes, and Bordeaux.

Some of the ingredients on offer include a partially-developed duck foetus, boiled inside the egg and eaten straight from the shell.

There is also the Casu Marzu, a pecorino cheese with fly larvae or the Icelandic shark that is said to smell like a mix of death and ammonia.

Let’s not forget the maggots, which can reach up to 15cm long, bull’s penis and bloody eyeballs.

The exhibition aims to educate and entertain at the same time.

Do you dare challenge your palate?
