The Disgusting Food Museum houses foods like maggot-infested cheese, rotting bird-stuffed seal corpses, and everything you can think of in alcohol. Oh, and don’t forget vegemite. But it also has root beer, Twinkies and Pop-Tarts. How do you define disgusting, and what’s to be gained by questioning our tastes? Guest: Andreas Ahrens, Director of the Disgusting Food Museum in Malmö, Sweden
