- Do you love the smell of eggs rotting in open sewage?
You could send yourself down the garbage chute, or you could try this Swedish seafood delicacy for a similar aromatic experience.
Surströmming, a sour, fermented herring from Sweden is a popular food choice in that country. This fermented fish originated in 16th century Sweden. When salt supplies were low, Swedes had to find a different way to preserve their food.
Surströmming fish is salted and stored in barrels for two months, and fermentation begins. Next, the fish is packed into tin cans where the fermentation continues from six months to a year.
You know surströmming fish is ready to eat when the can begins to bulge from the buildup of gas.
Would you try this Swedish delicacy? Why is surströmming banned on some airlines? Why do Swedes throw parties in honor of this herring dish?

There's something similar in Southeast Asia. Fermented fish is used in the popular green papaya salad dish to add more flavor.
Interesting!
These Swedish for sure will love Lao foods!
I wonder how smelly it is. I'm from Indonesia and we have smelly terasi (fetmented shrimp paste), smelly ikan asin (salted fisb) and off course the smelly durian fruit. Does surstromming really smell stronger? Anybody knows? Either way, I'd love to try it.
I'm from Malaysia and I also would like to try surströmming because of how the dramatic videos say it's bad. I'm pretty sure us Southeast Asians wouldn't get too fazed by the smell ngl since we have had fermented ingredients too.
@@bass2762Ikr... I looked it up online here in Indonesia. It's almost US$100 a can! That literally stinks 😂
Is it similar to Vietnamese fish sauce? I find it revolting as a Taiwanese, no offense. I wonder if this has a similar smell.
no exploding tins ;exploding cans which is the reason its banned on some airlines because of the bomb sound it can make not the smell.. wouldnt smell it on an aircraft luggage is down in the cargo area. sure if u run the risk of putting it in carryon. but in the cargo area wouldnt be smelled in the passenger section. however of course everybodies luggage could have a unique odor
I love this food
