Dog tries Swedish fermented herring for the first time

[Gerald]

Does it smell so bad that even dogs won't eat it? The video below has been hailed by some as all the evidence you need to stop your Swedish friends nagging you about trying that infamous fermented herring (http://www.thelocal.se/20150831/swedes-show-buzzfeed-how-to-eat-surstrmming).
But is it really that bad?

It may smell bad but it comes down to taste.

It is not meant to be eaten pure, and in quantities. It is used for seasoning/flavoring other food.. there's also certain cheese that is in need of habituation, so to speak..

Funny enough, Worcestershire sauce and this chinese fish sauce (squid brand) also contain fermented (=spoiled, scruffy) fish like anchovys :O:
The romans already had basins cut out of stone, in which they threw fish rests, to let them rot in the sun and later eat it. Must have been a smelly matter.. :)

Oh boy, that would the the "burger" of armageddon. Surströmming, Corsican maggot cheese all sprinkled with garum... It wouldn't surprise me if someone would try it though.

And it is an international meal
In Indonesia called blachang :o

In Bulgaria said chiros and unique appetizer for vodka,makes from above as any fish

I ate fermented herring first time in over thirty years ago :o with accessories such as potatoes, onions, sour cream, bread, and 45 percent alcohol to wash down with, not so bad, and then it has well been a few times, but I guess it is as much, either ya like it or no.:hmmm:

Regarding eating fermented herring I remember the discussion on what you should drink to this

Some of my Swedish friends said vodka is the best to drink directly after you have eaten fermented herring and some said beer is best, while some said ordinary milk

I'll have mine with bottle of Pepto Bismol if you please.

We usually cool off after a curry or chilli hot meal with a cold lager beer, but a nurse friend told my wife just the other day that milk is the best thing for this too.

Beer is a myth and I know that for a fact, I started it. :shifty: :rotfl2:

Beer has the same effect as water, it only worsenes it because it re-activates the taste buds that went numb from the burning feeling.

Capaiscin, the molecule that ''burns'' found in chilli bonds well with fat.
So milk, butter, gravy, steak... andything with some animal fat will help.


And I'm ready to try anything (except cats or dogs) so I'm ready to try pickled fermented fish :)

I agree, even if you use it as an ingredient with other foods. I know some one who hates the smell of hard boiled eggs and with not even eat a egg sandwich but if the egg is mixed in with other food and seasoning they have no issue then.

Try tomato juice.
