british food is disgusting? have you ever eaten any british food? id argue that is a damn sight better than the processed shit i was forced to eat during my time in america.
@Conchobhar we boil our food until the flavors gone..... wow! thats not only a stereotype, but a really old one. if your going to try and make a smug toffee nosed comment like that, at least try and back it up with some proper knowledge and not hearsay you probably heard on a episode of friends.
better yet! actually try some british cuisine, i think you might find something like a beef wellington quite tasty.
@conradmilligan Why is it that whenever a Britt gets butthurt on the internet they always retort with some unfunny slight against America? British food is world-renowned for being extremely bland and boring, and you haven't learned to accept that yet? When you lived in the states i'm sure you found that there were more spices and flavor in the ground beef at taco bell than you'd find in an entire 3-course dinner in the UK.
@coolmint191 that spices comment really does let you down im afraid, if you had actually tried any of our food you would easily have known that curry is just as popular as fish an chips or a sunday roast. i dont think i know a single person from these isles who dosent know how to make a slap up good chicken tika. as a matter of fact its been around here longer than the time span of the US!! it was first mentioned in a british cook book in 1747.
@XxLiinaa528xX Believe me, the taste is equally as bad, if not worse. Imagine what rancid cat pee combined with rotten fish smells like, then imagine it on your tastebuds.
Surstromming has a history that goes back to the Norse Vikings! When leaving on a long voyage, young warriors were given this as their main food! After weeks of eating it, they would charge ahead of the older warriors as they no longer feared death. Actually half of those guys became delusional from Surstromming based food poisoning and were known as berzerkers!
Once a swedish man had a can of surströmming on a plane. During the flight it exploded so he had to pay one million danish kroner (450.000 dollars) becuse all the furniture in the plane had to be replaced becuse it was contaminated with the surströmming smell.
@Vdjperks No it is like herring that has rotten. During the decay there is developed gas so the can it is in expands and it is actually a good idea to open under water becuse it almost has an explosive power when it is opened.
Tried it a few years ago as a dare. The smell is something else but after becoming acquainted to the unholy smell, the taste isn't all that bad in comparison
Lol, my dad told me today how he became a non-Scandinavian viking. The challenges included skinny-dipping in the icy October sea (in Sweden) and another was to eat surstomming. So, the non-swedish guys back away as soon as they smell it, the swedish guys ate a tiny bit (with tunnbrod), but my dad? He ate a whole herring! "how'd he do it?" He had a terrible cold and couldn't smell a thing XD.
this is why you put it inside a bit of baked bread. read a story a few years ago about someone opening a tin of surströmming inside... they were mobbed by flies. in sweden, in the north.
There's no more methane than in any other animal food stuff. The main odour is due to the formation of butyric, propanoic and acetic acids, which are all safe in the concentrations present in the can.
Surströmming is not rotten, as it would not have been safe to eat in that case.
You just should open it under water, so it won't explode (becouse of the gas and pressure) and it would probaply help to the smell too. :3 I haven't tried though, haven't even seen surströmming but I would like to.. opening surströmming pack is just one of those things you gotta try once in your life.
I don't want to get into a food fight with swedes. :D
@browndemon386 So these guys are Vikings? and there was me thinking a couple of losers were filming themselves 'tasting' rotten fish.. ? Hardcore killing machines
it stinks; but u know its from a can full of gas. If left out for a little while the odour dissipates - if served with other things it takes the impact away.
But u you know - its is simply shit, i have eaten alot of crap inc scorpions but its for a joke - you can eat this shit but u cannot possibly enjoy it without lying. But then again a lot of swedes get drunk - I suppose that helps
Just surstromming is not so good! u have to eat it with flatbread and goatchees, potatis whit sourcreem and chive! I love surstromming and eat it every year i August!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant! That cracked me up,some funny shit there!
I am about to try my first dose of surströming tonight and was checking out what to eat it with, I can't say that the film has really inspired me but you know, gotta try these things.
Yep! Pretty rank stuff!! The smell on opening the can was not quite as bad as I expected, but the taste,. I had to spit it out as soon as it went in, I even tried washing it but that did'nt work either. It is an unedible thing and why do they try to eat a fermenting fish anyway those crazy swedes. Even my 1 year old son who eats anything didn't like it!! Then the house stank for about 2 hours afterwards of old farts.
