It turns out that Swedish folk are NOT fans of our friends across the ditch's fave spread.
A pop-up museum in Malmo, Sweden showcased a selection of the world’s most controversial foods and delicacies.
Luckily, New Zealand has some pretty tasty snacks with no Kiwi treats featuring in the Museum.
Australia, however, wasn't so lucky, with Vegemite, Witchetty Grubs and Musk Sticks all considered to be 'Disgusting foods' - and proud Aussies were not happy about it.

I don't care that Swedes think Vegemite and Musk sticks are nasty. I love them. More for me I say.
