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.
每个人都至少有一种觉得恶心的食物。有些人会因为食物的外观、成分或浓烈的味道而感到恶心。在许多情况下，我们的成长背景和文化环境也会影响我们对恶心的认知。这是启发瑞典马尔默的恶心食物博物馆的其中一些想法。该博物馆由心理学家萨缪尔．韦斯特于 2018 年创建，他希望人们能够挑战自己对某些食物的看法。它展出了来自世界各地的各种奇特食物，包括冰岛的发酵鲨鱼肉和义大利萨丁尼亚岛的活蛆乳酪。你甚至可能会看到一些来自台湾的熟悉品项，例如臭豆腐或皮蛋。
