The world's most vile foods are exhibited at a museum in Germany.

The Museum of Disgusting Food in Berlin gives visitors the chance to sample cheese encrusted with living maggots and a bitter liqueur sourced from the anal glands of a beaver.

Visitors to the museum are given sick bags rather than entry tickets and a sign near the entrance counts the days since a person last vomited.

Other delicacies on offer include eggs pickled in the urine of Vietnamese boys and the Icelandic speciality hakarl, which is made of fermented shark flesh.

However, the museum also includes haggis, spam and eggnog to show that disgust relating to food is often subjective.

The attraction has been set up by Germany's Humanist Association and explores the idea that disgust is a socially acquired emotion that sets humans apart from other species.
