I have to say for Sweden of all countries to open a museum making fun of other culture's cuisines makes me think of "Don't throw bricks when you live in a glass house."

I’ll agree with the Swedes. The examples of food such as Korean child feces wine isn’t going to be easily beaten by anything the Swedes make.

Some of the descriptions of the food with stories are pretty funny.

> A German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after he opened a can of surströmming in the apartment building’s stairwell. When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord’s attorney demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom.

Stinky tofu doesn't really belong to that list, I think. It was pretty yummy.

amusingly, stinky tofu wasn't one of the 4 I've had.
