American guy trying out "Surströmming".

It is a traditional dish here that we all try out and enjoy more or less.
I like it, but then I know how to eat it as well...
These guy's don't...

That makes fermented stinky tofu look downright delectable.

You need to click it either way....
If there is a preview who would look?

Another thing that I can't help to notice is that of this that is posted you react that it is not embedded....

 

[Magnus]

I like it, but it is not for everyone...

 

[MasterBlaster]

I prefer Balut!

 

[Magnus]

Whats that?

Have you really tried surströmming or you make a preference based on appearance??

 

[Magnus]

Ah... Duck!

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that the first guy couldn't even finish opening the can or the second guy throwing the fish away like a little girl lol
You must be brought up as a child eating that or it is definitely an acquired taste!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Like buttermilk... I don't know how anyone could swallow that sour shit. BLEAGH.

 

[sawinredneck]

If it smells that bad, why would you want to eat it?
Then the video of the family all sitting around chomping it down like it's Sunday brunch? ALMOST makes me want to get a can and see how bad it really does smell, almost!

Fermented Herring is just another mistake made good by Starving Swedes.Some time ago,they likely blundered the Pickling of thousands of tons of Herrings.Then most likely a famine struck,with nothing else to eat but each other they ate the revolting Fish.

Now and forever after they proclaim its deliciousness as a way of making up for their in ability to master the process of Canning.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hahahahahaaa

Did you notice the flies in the last vid? When flies show up in those numbers that fast, well, something's a little stinky. I think I'll pass.

It is a very old tradition. One of the reasons Jesus didn't dine here i guess...

Don't be fooled, it is pretty tasty if done correct, but it does stink.

This is not bad. We call it Kärn Mjölk.

I eat "Filmjölk" every morning with some hard bread. Keeps belly in order.

So does durian and that is pretty tasty, too.
