There is a very peculiar “delicacy” found in the northern parts of Sweden called surströmming which is sometimes called sour herring. Which is a euphemism for fermented herring, which is a euphemism for rotten fish. Herring are tossed in a can with a little yeast and, after a while in the dark, the gasses put out by the rotting fish turn the can into something more closely resembling a softball. Popping the seal on these babies creates recoil, both from the escaping gasses and from the punch-to-the-face odor. It is even more foul than you are thinking. |
