Taste the world’s grossest foods in LA at the Disgusting Food Museum

If you’re in LA and feeling adventurous, you’ll soon be able to swing by and see, smell and even taste some of the grossest foods in the world.

The Disgusting Food Museum is bringing its exhibition of unique international culinary samplings to LA’s A+D Architecture and Design Museum from 9 December until 17 February, 2019. The museum features “the most provocative foods from around the world” in an effort to celebrate and examine how different cultures approach foods that might be considered disgusting somewhere else.

The exhibition will feature more than 80 different incredible dishes, like frog smoothies from Peru, maggot cheese from Sardinia, Sweden’s putrid sea herring dish surströmming, and the infamously smelly fruit durian. If you are a foodie, or even just really adventurous and culturally curious, you’ll be able to smell some truly interesting foods and even try some samples at the museum’s tasting bar.

This new exhibition, first displayed in Sweden, was created and curated by Dr. Samuel West, the psychologist who also launched the Museum of Failure. “The museum aims to change our view of what is disgusting or not and expose our minds to what is known as normal in other cultures,” said Dr. West in a statement.

So, should you be in LA this winter and looking to do more than just the usual Venice Beach and Griffith Observatory,, find out more and purchase tickets to the museum here.
