Imagine you took fish, let it spoil, then shat on top of it, and let it spoil for another three years, until it was actually a colony of really thin worms. Then you boiled the worms so they died, and ate them. That is how Surstromming looks and tastes like.

3/10, not the worst thing ever.

Never had it, but here it is prepared by a proper swedish dude as a summer meal. Looks extremely comfy and I wouldn't mind eating fermented herring by his lake

Not nice, but not nearly as bad as vomiting people on youtube would have you believe. Eating it the proper way (not on its own damnit) will go a long way in neutralizing the taste and texture of the fish.

Perhaps someone who isn't as fond of raw herring as I would be in for a bigger shock. I don't know.

If you are American then GTFO and eat shit.
The rest: It's not that bad. Watch a video or read a recipe about how you are supposed to prepare and eat it and judge for yourself.
If you try to eat a whole can with a fork as a challenge, then yes you will hate it. But same goes with i.e vinegar. You wouldn't drink a bottle of vinegar. Prepared well it adds a lot of taste. Find a good video tutorial, follow it and judge for yourself.

It's pretty good, but it's not like roll-mops that can easily be eaten on their own, you need to have something with it or use it as an ingredient.

It does smell pretty bad though and woe betide you if you spill on a carpet.

eating it on its own is like eating any ingredient on its own. you'd probably vomit if you dumped cinnamon in your mouth, too

The Swedes have a weird fetish for disgusting rotten fish cuisine

>If you are American then GTFO and eat shit.

;_; why user

I know america is a meme but I'm trying OK

IM TRYING

I didn't choose to be born here

>Tell me about surstromming Veeky Forums
>Why does it wear the mask?

it's absolutely terrible. the fish isn't even cooked. they catch it and throw it in a jar of pickled shit. if you get even a drop on your clothes you will stink to high heaven.

where can you get this in the US?

It's more like a condiment. The fish is fermented. It's salty but used correctly it tastes great. As I said it's a lot like i.e vinegar. You don't drink a bottle of vinegar, you add it in small doses in various dishes.

>You don't drink a bottle of vinegar
oh don't I?

Bought a can once but it smelled rotten so threw it away.

Is there an online store for a can of this?
Mad curious to try it over here.

(You)
I see what you did there

I don't get how my countrymen eat this shit, it's fucking vile.

Well your countrymen do a lot of shit that others think is vile.

I know, I fucking hate this peninsula, and the EU, and all of fucking Europe, I wish I was an American.

Jävla hanrej. Sluta vara sån torr jävla undergiven kuksugare.

Europa kan dö, det finns inget hopp här, det fanns aldrig hopp.

Defaitister behöver vi inga av. Är du så jävla mån om att dö kan du gärna ta första steget när som. Håll dig borta från de som faktiskt har staken att försvara sin hemjord. Fjant.

>kulturer byggda runt att underkasta sig till staten och etablissemanget
>värt att försvara
>det här är vad han vill skydda från muslimerna
lol du är säkert en socialist eller monarkist.

Alla saker som går att överkasta. Blir vi av med juden är det två tredjedelar av kampen avklarad. Att värdelösa satar som du kommer att sitta och runka vid sidolinjen medans andra tar itu med världspolitiken är bara slöseri på resurser. Jag rekommenderar att du tar ditt liv genast. Du hade gjort Europa en tjänst.

Du blir aldrig av med juden, med muslimen, med socialisterna och alla deras varianter, det är allt ingrott i Europa.

Oj då. Då är det väl bäst att bara ligga ner och dö.

Defaitist.

Vad tror du sades bland tyskarna när de såg degenereringen av deras land i början av 1900-talet? Ungefär så som du talar nu. Och vad gjorde samma otroende bögar när nationalsocialisterna började styra rätt i ett land som verkade bortom räddning? De insåg att allting går, man måste bara vara beredd på att jobba för det. Till skillnad från ryggradslösa jävlar som du, som bara ligger ner så fort det blir svårt, och som är för fega för att ta ställning för sin hemmajord och sina landsmän.

Patetiskt.

I just ate some of this last week. The smell is fucking vile, unsurprisingly like rotten fish and eggs. The initial taste is pretty much the same, but with a sort of pungent brininess that is actually quite pleasant.

>In 1981, a German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after the tenant spread surströmming brine in the apartment building's stairwell. When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord's party demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom. The court concluded that it "had convinced itself that the disgusting smell of the fish brine far exceeded the degree that fellow-tenants in the building could be expected to tolerate"

It makes a big guy out of you
