The Experience
The first thing that hit me at the Disgusting Food Museum in Malmo wasn’t what I saw, but what I smelled — sort of like socks left in a gym bag, but sharper. We’d barely handed over our prepaid tickets (no line, thankfully) when a staff member grinned and waved us toward the first display. Eighty foods from around the world, and honestly, some looked harmless until you got close. Our guide, Linnea, kept nudging us to lean in for a whiff or try pronouncing names I’d never seen before. “Surströmming,” she said, and I tried to repeat it — she laughed and shook her head. Fair enough.
I didn’t expect to actually taste anything (I was just here for the photos at first), but curiosity won out at the tasting bar. The texture of that century egg was… complicated. Not as bad as I thought, though my friend made a face like he’d bitten into a lemon soaked in ammonia. Some things were surprisingly sweet — there was this candy made with something called metal cleansing chemicals? It sounds worse than it tasted. People around us were all reacting differently; one little kid just shrugged after trying something that nearly made me gag. The whole place buzzed with this mix of laughter, groans, and “oh no way” moments.
By the end we took turns in the photobooth holding up our “I survived” cards (I’m not sure if I looked brave or just pale). There’s something weirdly bonding about sharing those flavors — or smells you can’t quite wash off your hands right away. Even now, certain scents take me right back to that room full of jars and daring strangers. If you’re looking for a day trip in Malmo that’s more about stories than souvenirs… well, this is definitely it.
