After our train ride over the bridge from Copenhagen to the Malmo Central station, we took a hike over some canals to the More Hotel in the Vastra Hamnen district. Although the weather was beautiful, I found myself blundering along the wide thoroughfares periodically stopping to check my whereabouts as if Ella and I had landed in the wrong city. For some reason I had thought Malmo would be like the quaint seaside town I saw in the Wallander television series.
Even though I had read that it was the third largest city in Sweden, I didn’t expect it to have the urban attributes that annoy me, like tall featureless buildings with no street level life, or expansive roadways that require sprinting to get across. So naturally the first thing I wanted to do was leave our nondescript hotel in our nondescript neighborhood and get downtown, or at least an area where people gathered to shop, eat, or feed the pigeons in the park. And that’s how we ended up at Malmo’s Disgusting Food Museum. It was in a busy part of town and on a Monday, when most museums are closed, it was open. And, as a person who will eat almost anything, I was intrigued by the notion of foods, that if prepared correctly, would still be considered disgusting.
These are all delicacies from different countries. If you are squeamish, perhaps don’t read the captions.
