Surströmming - Have You Tried It?

[shankmcgank]

A friend of mine lives in Sweden, where Surströmming originates from, and even he refuses to eat it.



If it smells so bad, that people are retching from the smell, and it's being compared to rotting catfish on a beach, mixed with feces, I'm out.

Have any of you Sherbros tried it? Would you if given the opportunity?

German food critic and author Wolfgang Fassbender wrote that "the biggest challenge when eating surströmming is to vomit only after the first bite, as opposed to before".

I haven't eaten it but I've seen people eat it and describe it and it just reminds me of an ex of mine who I'd rather forget

There's a lot of weird food I'd try but this is definitely not one of them. Fuck that.

How does the company stay in business if everyone hates it?

Probably most of it is sold to people doing the eating challenges.

being a Swede i have tried it. My father Loves it, they eat it in a flat bread with unions, potatoes and sour cream.

Its diffidently gross tasting very salty, but the smell is much worse than the taste. You can't open it inside the house, my dad and his friends are always outside when they eat it.

When i was a kid my dog found some open canisters of surströmming in the woods and rolled around in it. They washed him every day for like tree days but had to cut of the hair to get rid of the smell.

Opening it up inside the house is a big mistake! It takes litterally days to get rid of the smell. Noobs....

I'm not a pussy. I'm gonna eat surstromming and ph's balut at the same time.

Eat durian for dessert.

Balut is not as bad as everyone thinks. At least not taste wise.
