Surstromming (Rotted Fish) Challenge

A freshly opened can of Surstromming has one of the worst smells in the entire world. The herring is fermented for at least six months in a tin can. The challenge is to be able to get past the smell and eat the fish straight from the can. Watch to see who was able to complete the challenge!

The guy guy in the blue shirt gagging was cracking me up! He reminded of an ostrich jerking his head around.

I can’t say how much I love this! Bringing together everyone one for a hilarious little neighborhood day of hilarity and fun, and test of mettle. 😂

No car jacking, smell of weed 24/7, looting, or general sociopathy in that neighborhood I take it. 😂

Did your swedish neighbor initiate this or is there a swedish community in Louisville? Nevertheless, nice picnic

You know its bad when dogs cry during it being opened!! I'm so glad I don't know how that smells, but I'm sure it would be GREAT fertilizer.. assuming it didn't serve as rancid roundup & burn everything it got on.

And the expressions on the guy to the left of you on the video are great.

You my man have a cast iron stomach. I need to do this challenge. I've had lutefisk and held it in, but surströmming is much worse I've been told!

[kjorgensen]

Good work. It really goes with boiled potatoes, beer and a snaps. Lutefish is much better. From Sweden, Nelly’s dad.

You have to open it up under a bucket of water to keep it from spraying when opening.

Brave souls! 😅

It's actually so healthy for your gut bacteria

[jtclark]

Do it with bread and onions next time to shut people up about Americans "not doing it right" 😂

[peterfrandsen]

Please do your homework. and don't be an arse. Open the can of surströmming under water. Serve it on a proper plate with potatoes, onions and sour cream.
