Hi all. Has anyone tried surstromming?
Looked up a few things on it after seeing Andrew Zimmern eat it on bizarre foods.
Its fermented fish in a vaccume sealed can. I wanna give it a go but haven't found anywhere online I can buy from. Worst food ever apparently. Get in me surstromming!

Re: Surstromming
I was gonna say, is that Icelandic or something? They eat some pretty horrible things there.
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Swedish according to Wikipedia. Couldn't resist looking it up.

Re: Surstromming
Why would you want to eat the worst food ever?
I imagine a cow patty tastes pretty bad and they're easy to find, why don't you give that a crack instead?

Re: Surstromming
If you seriously want to taste the worst food ever go to a genuine vietnamese restaurant and order the Sea Cucumber, a vile slug that is generally served in a bowl of what looks like dirty tepid dishwater.
I ate the chicken's feet but this stuff was too much.

Couldn't taste worse than the Psilocybe cubensis mushroom (otherwise known as gold top)

Re: Surstromming
Ouch, **** would anyone choose to eat it unless it has interesting side effects

Re: Surstromming
Fermented fish? Pffft. Pack of light weights.
When you get serious, try out the Korean food Hongeo.
They take a stingray and cut off all the meat. They then bury the cartilage at the high tide mark for three months, until it is utterly rotten. They then cut it into strips like sashimi, and serve it raw.
The stench of ammonia is so strong that holding it in front of you (at arms length) is enough to bring tears to your eyes. Putting it into your mouth, your sinuses and tear ducts explode to the point that tears and snot pour down your face. Imagine drinking a glass of bleach, and you'll be close.
But here's the thing. You can't just swallow it. It's chewy to the point you need to leave it in your mouth for a few minutes, working away at it. Each bite releases another wave of pain.
It's apparently a delicacy....though I've never seen even it's most enthusiastic supporters eat two in a sitting.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Re: Surstromming
There's also Hakari the Icelandic delicacy which is basically a rotten shark that has been buried in gravel for 3 months.
