This is just an elaborate swedish joke right?
>>216916128The entirety of Sweden is an elaborate joke
Sometimes I gag just by opening a normal can of sardines, that shit would legit knock me out.
>>216916128Maybe they find it tasty, taste is perceptual/psychological as well
>>216916128uma delicia!
>>216916295You don't say
Average height in>Sweden181.5cm>US175cmmaybe you should try it lil bro
>>216916288>Sometimes I gag just by opening a normal can of sardines
>>216917110I'm extremely sensible to smellz, and seeing all the sardine corpse there with the spine and such kinda fucks me up.
>>216917110>Nooooooo you can't just eat food fit for human consum you have to eat Nordic mystery flesh!!!!!
>>216916288in spain I saw people eating canned mussles and oysters, the smell legitimately made me want to throw up
>>216916344>>216917110What does it taste like? Vietnam has mắm tôm, made from fermented fish, strong and funky and delicious.
>>216917270Forgot pic.
>>216917204can't imagine living in spain and being "sensible to smellz">>216917241never even said anything about surströmming, retard
>>216917302but Spain smellz good I thought? at least where I live is not smelly
>>216917314Explain your meme fish to me please Axel.
>>216917302tastes like most other fermented and salty things, fermented and salty.somewhat similar to some stinky cheeses, i guess and just like a very pungent cheese, you eat it with other stuff. the usual way people eat it is with tomatoes, onions, potatoes, and sourcream (often rolled into a piece of bread, like a stinky taco)i don't hate it but i don't love it either, won't say no if someone invites me to have it
I've read it smells like raw unfiltered sewage, it can't be THAT bad, right?right?
>>216916288timmies have naturally evolved to be immune to smells because they live in a spiceless natural habitat
>>216917451I think I would probably like it.
>>216917497that part is entirely true but the flavor is very different from the smell the reason why people eat it outside is not to enjoy the weather, though that is a nice bonus
>>216917497>>216917671>raw unfiltered sewageNo fuckin way you literally mean that, right?
>>216917656it gets a bad rap due to the trend of "surströmming challenges", where people eat it as isi wouldn't like that either desu
One of my all time favorite videos on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGRyr8yIo9w
>>216917693the smell is vile maybe not exactly sewage but i guess the closest smell i've smelled is the food waste bins on the street on a hot summer day. it is genuinely awful.
>>216916128It's not as bad as people thinkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZfQn5gVXOo&t=601s
People just don't know how to eat it. You're supposed to open the can in a basin of water so it doesn't stink and hiss liquid on you
>>216917926uppfriskande med någon som inte behandlar det som en machoutmaning och äter det som det ska ätas men jag har inte hört talas om vb som ett tillbehör>kimchi with no vegetablessauerkraut is probably closer but that's a pretty good description >>216917270
>>216918163People in Sweden don't know that but you do?
>>216916128äkta fucking mat
>>216918184Most of the people doing the stupid 'challenge' videos aren't Swedes
>>216918178Sauerkraut/fermented veggies do not smell very bad, at least for me. Especially if you keep them in the cold as we do here.
Oh so rotten milk is fine but rotten fish isn't?
>>216917350spain is nice and all but goddamn there was trash everywhere when I was there this summer (Torrevieja)
>>216918306>Torreviejaahahahhaahah sueco classic
>>216916128It's a retarded boomer thing that for some reason has survived since famine times when someone was desperate enough to eat it. I'm 35 and I don't know anyone under 55 who actually "likes" it. Even the people who do eat it do so by having tiny amounts covered by sour cream, onions and stuff.
>>216918351yes box
>>216918241i should have been clearer. he was talking about the flavorthe smell IS way worse
>>216918416If I sniffed a cute blond Swedish twink's butt through his underwear do you think it would smell nicer than surströmming?
>>216918391Why all have pickled herring. But why is your pickled herring just like that?Tho I would propably and unironically enjoy surströming.
>>216918452unironically, yes
>>216918452
>>216917204Why do you eat it then?
i hate fish bros
>>216918473It's not pickled.
>>216918473pickled herring is very different from surströmming and probably a lot more palatable to foreigners
>>216918539What about nice white fish that is fried? It barely tastes like fish.
>>216918539Relääx täjk ö gravlaax
>>216918539väx upp
>>216918594yeah thats alright
>>216918539what did the fish bros ever do to you
>>216918594pickled and cured fish tastes less fishy than fried fish imo
>>216918480That's pretty hot, right? What do you think a cute blond Swedish boy's butt smells like? Rotten cloudberries?
>>216918612fakk you mann1
>>216918633I like almost every fish/preparation except cooked salmon.
>>216918391I’m also in my 30s, and I love it.
>>216918670poop, most likely
>>216918694ever had bass?
>>216918714What if the twink already pooped and then took a shower? Would would it smell like then? Assume it's a winter day and he isn't sweaty
>>216918738The one fish in picrel>>216918694 is Sea Bass, but yes I've had fresh water bass as well, I like it fried.
There is also pickled herring in Japan, but it does not smell so bad.Throughout Japan, pickled squid is more common.Salmon pickles are popular these days.
Isn't most of the nasty shit associated with sustroming caused by it doing bad during shipping?
>>216918810LIke this thread stated surströmming is fermented herring and not pickled one.Please read the thread next time before posting.
>>216918844Nah, it smells foul even when bought in Sweden in season>>216917797But I wouldn't mind trying it, the right way.
>>216918800oh, i've never had sea bass but fresh water bass is one of my favoritesdo they have a similar taste?
>>216918452swedish woman puss smell is what inspired this dish
>>216918844it does smell bad no matter what but a tell-tale sign that has actually gone "bad" (even swedish kids know this) is when the can bulges out. the more the bulbous the can, the worse it will be
>>216918955>do they have a similar taste?Not really, Sea Bass has a firmer texture and has more of a salt ware fish taste although it's mild and kind of "sweet" it's one of my favorite fish - you should try it. I think it's called this in Swedish
>>216919008I read a letter from 18th century USA where some American was complaining about the smell of Swedish immigrants. He said having to stand near them was torture because they smelled like shit
>>216918844and it doesn't help that a lot of people doing the "challenge" eat it as is, with bones and all and without anything to dampen the very strong flavor
>>216918844I think the reason for the smell is that they keep the traditional manufacturing method.Japan used to make it the same way as Sweden, but since refrigerators and freezers became popular, the production method has changed and it became easier to eat.
>>216916128I've had an abortion and it didn't even look that bad
>>216916288Youre brown
>>216919086shame if true
>>216918903Originally, it was fermented strongly in the same way, but now it is stopped at a weak fermentation of about 20 days to suppress the smell.Occasionally, there is herring made by traditional method, but like surströmming, it is liquid, smelly and very salty.
>>216919060>I think it's called this in Swedishyes it ismost of the fish i eat is caught by me so i've never had the opportunity to fish for it since i neither live on the west coast nor have a boat but i might buy some based on your recommendation. do you just fry it as is or with some sort of breading?
>>216917497it is that bad, and if you dont let it air out for an hour or two, the smell becomes the taste. and its sad because the taste of fermented fish is heavenly. no natural dish taste better than it.
There are more disgusting foods out therehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8F-0Ogp4fU
>>216918452Why are you like this?
>>216918473Pickled herring fucks hard.
>>216919161pickled herring isn't fermented at all. it's basically just fish in a jar of "pickle juice" (the acidic kind)surströmming is fermented in brinehope that clears it up
>>216919086So your womb has now space for NORTHERN Finnic seed?
>>216919250this one can actually cause health issues, right?
>>216919199I fry the fresh water bass. Sea Bass is best grilled and pan seared in butter or olive oil. But also good in the oven with some olive oil and white wine. I only bread white fish like cod and haddock which are mild in taste. But....lately I've been doing this thing with Sea Bream (picrel). I dry it out with a towel, lightly brush it with olive oil and coat it in Panko bread crumbs - then lightly fry it in a thin layer of butter and a little bit of olive oil on a low heat (so the butter doesen't burn. 7-8 mins on each side). I do some vertical cuts in the skin so the butter can penetrate and it also cooks faster. This will also apply to Sea Bass because the meat is very similar.
>>216918184Barely anyone eats surströmming anymore. It's a traditional regional dish. It's kept alive amongst young people basically entirely through the memes. Mostly in regions of the cunt that never ate it in the first place. He's right. You're supposed to open it in a barrell of water to trap the gas from fermentation.
>>216919378The maggots could possibly survive in your stomach and eat your intestines
>>216919066Kek, what state?
>>216919597Okay, wrong century but still..
>>216919486its equal to our rakfisk, and thats increasing in popularity here. i wonder why you havent tried it?
>>216916128Holy shit Timmies are disgusting
>>216919343The feature of Japanese herring pickles is to put fermented rice to promote fermentation.Cut the fresh herring, add salt and fermented rice, mix, and keep in the refrigerator for about 20 days.Store in the freezer to prevent further fermentation.The traditional method is to ferment in the shade in wooden barrels.
>>216919705unlike the early immigration to america, the late immigration generally seems to have attracted the worst of the worst
>>216919811>unlike the early immigration to america, the late immigration generally seems to have attracted the worst of the worstyou mean poor people looking for a better life?
>>216919428cheers! i'll have to give it a try
>>216919811After the revolution Scottish people immigrated to Canada (Nova Scotia/PEI area) in slave ships in conditions that were far far worse than the African slaves had. There were no regulations so they packed them in extra tight
>>216919785You can put a number of things for the fermentation to start, a piece of horse radish, some corn, rice, anything carby with natural yest on the surface.
>>216916156fpbp
>>216919842>you mean poor people looking for a better life?
>>216919785i'd probably like it
>>216919859Cheers bro :)
>>216919913Swedish emigrants did not become drug-peddling criminals though
>>216916128my ancestors consumed this just to live another day...
>>216919889In Japan, natural yeast of rice is common. In some regions, barley is used.Rice yeast has milder aroma and taste and is sweeter.
>>216919947It's a similar food, so I think you can eat it without feeling uncomfortable.However, the amount of salt and rice and the quality of herring itself vary depending on the maker, so the taste varies greatly.For example, there is a big difference between roe-bearing herring and non-roe-bearing herring.I think there will be new business opportunities in Sweden if they make and sell new surströmming while keeping the traditional manufacturing method.
>>216918539Garbage taste.
>>216919486Att öppna burken under vatten är ett meme, normala människor håller bara papper över så man inte får spadet på sig.
>>216921387man spiser ikke sustrømming eller noen form for råtten fisk hvis ikke man liker lukten. og hvis man liker den da spiser man den.
>>216917302Interesting
>>216916128You're meant to cut it up and eat it with fresh potatoes outside during the summer. It's pretty good.
for me its theafter 5 seconds of opening the can theres flies already
>>216917302same
>>216921980you clearly havent eaten it nor smelled it. flies fly away from it, it smells like anything all living beings avoid to eat, you cant serve this to your cat for instance it will look at you like wtf are you trying to posion me?. it smells like rotting fish, and thats what it is, but it taste good.
>>216922717Habesne etiam garum?Gratulationes tibi!
