The museum’s founder, Dr. Samuel West, is a psychologist by day and a museum curator by night.
Visitors can smell, touch and taste different foods that have been considered “disgusting” around the world, from foie gras to fermented shark.
American favourites such as root beer and Jell-O salad are in the museum alongside fried tarantula and cooked guinea pigs. “If you give root beer to a Swede they will spit it out and say it tastes like toothpaste, but I think it’s delicious,” he says.]]> 2019-08-05 20:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/hbzelwup2eyi1580258504/wish/373320671 'Old Town Road' by Lil Nas X lynette_serjeant1 https://padlet.com/lynette_serjeant1/hbzelwup2eyi1580258504/wish/373321380  Country Rap 'Old Town Road' has broken the Hot Country Billboards records.  The catchy track featuring country legend Billy Ray Cyrus has spent an unprecedented 17 weeks at the top of the charts.

Two demonstrations took place within a giant cage. Also, those people in the audience had to wear helmets as a precaution.

The Japanese government aims to have people using flying cars by the year 2030. It has also allowed the construction of a huge test course in an area devastated by the 2011 tsunami and nuclear disasters in Fukushima.
