Just found out about pickled hotdogs. Sounds disgusting.

    Is surstromming really that bad? I thought it was just shit tier YouTubers making click bait by eating it wrong.

    Like marmite, it is going to taste bad if you eat it from a table spoon on it’s own. But that is a skill issue.

      I thought that surströmming was okay, it just depends on how you use it. The way it was explained to me is that you’re actually supposed to use it more like a spice. So, rather than eating it alone, you add a little bit to a sandwich.

      It smells terrible, so much that it’s best if you submerge the can in water before opening it (plus it sprays everywhere if you don’). But adding it as a spice to something like a sandwich and it’s actually not that bad.

        Yeah that was the impression I had, you add small amounts to something else and don’t open it in a confined area.
