Everyone has at least one food that they find disgusting. Some people are disgusted by a food’s appearance, ingredients, or strong flavor. In many cases, our background and cultural environment also influence our sense of what is disgusting. These are some of the ideas that inspired the Disgusting Food Museum in Malmö, Sweden. The museum was created in 2018 by Samuel West, a psychologist who hopes that people can challenge their attitudes about certain foods. It displays a variety of strange foods from around the world, including fermented shark meat from Iceland and maggot-filled cheese from Sardinia, Italy. You may even spot some familiar items from Taiwan, like stinky tofu or century eggs.
每個人都至少有一種覺得噁心的食物。有些人會因為食物的外觀、成分或濃烈的味道而感到噁心。在許多情況下，我們的成長背景和文化環境也會影響我們對噁心的認知。這是啟發瑞典馬爾默的噁心食物博物館的其中一些想法。該博物館由心理學家薩繆爾．韋斯特於 2018 年創建，他希望人們能夠挑戰自己對某些食物的看法。它展出了來自世界各地的各種奇特食物，包括冰島的發酵鯊魚肉和義大利薩丁尼亞島的活蛆乳酪。你甚至可能會看到一些來自臺灣的熟悉品項，例如臭豆腐或皮蛋。
