Trying Surströmming (world's stinkiest food), Mom Scared!!! #Shorts

Today I decided to try surströmming, a Swedish food which according to a famous Japanese study is the world’s stinkiest food although it’s actually illegal in Japan and is banned by several international airlines. It’s basically herring that has been allowed to ferment for months and my particular can is technically expired. Sorry mom for stinking up the patio & kitchen!!! #Shorts

Let me know what you think of my new YouTube short! It's my first video of this kind!

Some tips from a swede:
1. Open it under water in a bucket
2. Probably not supposed to eat it after due date, but honestly it's not like anyone would know the difference
3. Most swedes wouldnt touch surströmming with a 6 feet stick. It's a northern tradition. Probably because they were starving at some point. Or as a bet that went out of control.
4. It doesn't taste as bad as it smells. But it smells like death so that bar is quite low.
5. You will burp the taste of death for at least 24h afterwards.

Me: "mom, can we have swedish fish?"
Mom: "We have swedish fish at home"

I'm a Swede, but I've never tried surströmming and I probably never will 😂

Moms like “ time to throw the whole son away with that one”😂😂😂

Slightly expired Surströmming
*what could go wrong?*

[AndrewFerrerd]

You can't just have surströmming and that's it. Now you have to learn some Swedish!

*Us scandinavians watching foreigners opening cans of Surströmming* : hehe wimps.

[grizzlygamer]

Yeah, you're supposed to open it under spring water, eat it with onions and wash it down with schnapps.... Don't get me wrong, I'm never touching the stuff 😂

I'm from Sweden and I laughed myself into tears! 🤣😭🇸🇪

[darkweaver]

You’re not supposed to eat it by itself silly. 😂😭

[mickeymauricio]

That expiration date doesn't worry me as much as the bloated can and all that pressure within it (0.o)

[AmbiCahira]

Thank you for trying surströmming. I grew up around it every year so I get intense evil laugh of satisfaction seeing people experience the smell for the first time. 😂

[pointbreak]

Wash it down with some durian fruit. Lol

When all you have is millet, reindeer, and fish to eat during Swedish winters in 1060 AD, you gotta have some variety.

[KoMaruyama]

I can’t wait to see a second attempt - eaten the recommended way - and from a product that hasn’t expired and bloated the can (beware expiry foods man!)

[Gameboygenius]

I'm not saying surströmming is stinky but the first time we had it when I was a kid, I was wondering if one of the neighbors had been dead for months, and they just discovered it, and were venting the apartment to get rid of the smell.
