Bull penis 牛鞭

最近,瑞典馬爾默市的惡心食物博物館展出的各種奇怪食物中就有牛鞭。
Casu marzu 意大利卡蘇馬蘇活蛆奶酪
How do you improve a nice sheep-milk pecorino? In Sardinia, you start by cracking open the cheese and letting a whole lot of flies settle in. As they eat, poop and lay their eggs in the cheese, the flies impart unique flavors that are only improved by the texture of the wriggling maggots after they hatch. Yes, you're supposed to eat them, too.
怎么才能提升一個美味羊奶佩科里諾干酪的口味呢?在撒丁島,首先你得敲開干酪,然后讓一大堆蒼蠅進去安居。讓它們在干酪中吃喝拉撒又產(chǎn)卵,這些蒼蠅會為干酪賦予一種獨有的味道,而這種味道只有在蠕動的蛆孵化出來之后才能更美味。沒錯,你吃奶酪的時候得連著蛆一起吃。

Enjoyed in China for hundreds of years, the century egg is a duck, chicken or quail egg steeped for up to five months in a special broth that includes black tea, salt, lime and wood ash.

在關(guān)島,用果蝠制作的湯太流行了,以至于這兒的蝙蝠差點被吃滅絕了。根據(jù)惡心食物博物館描述,蝙蝠被做熟以后,它們會散發(fā)出一種強烈的尿液般的味道,但是據(jù)說它們的肉味甘甜,吃起來像雞肉。

Jell-O salad 果凍沙拉

在20世紀(jì)20年代至30年代期間,用明膠和水果丁及蔬菜丁制成的所謂沙拉火遍美國。在整個20世紀(jì)70年代,這道沙拉還在不斷地被端上美國人的餐桌,不過受歡迎程度已經(jīng)開始下滑。

Kumis 馬奶酒
Kumis, a fermented drink made from mare's milk, is popular among people of the central Asian steppes. Higher sugar content in mare's milk makes kumis more alcoholic than kefir, another fermented drink made from cow, goat or sheep milk.

還有下面這些食物,也讓不少觀眾表示不能忍:
館長塞繆爾·韋斯特表示,雖然博物館以“惡心”為名,但他的實際目的并不是以奇怪的食物惡心游客,而是通過食物,引發(fā)眾人對文化差異的思考。對一種文化背景的人來說是惡心的東西,也許對另一種文化背景的人來說,卻是美味。俗話說的好,one man's meat is another man's poison。
韋斯特說,展覽的目的是娛樂,但同時也傳達了一個發(fā)人深省的信息:什么東西開胃或惡心,是后天習(xí)得的,也可以改變。他希望能鼓勵游客嘗試更多正在研制或推廣的可持續(xù)食品,比如昆蟲和實驗室培育的肉類。
聽著很有道理,你敢去挑戰(zhàn)嗎?
