Surstromming

 

                                                              Worst Smells On Earth

Surströmming. This Swedish delicacy literally means “sour herring”. Surströmming is Baltic herring, fermented for at least six months. The herring are caught prior to spawning in April or May of each year before being canned in a brine solution. After allowing time for fermentation, the cans are sold in Swedish grocery stores in the summer. The smell of surströmming has been compared to rotting flesh. Due to its pungent smell, surströmming is usually eaten outdoors, and is typically served on tunnbröd, Swedish flatbread, with potatoes, diced onion, cheese, chives, tomatoes, and dill.
