Finnish drunken man eats surströmming 

every finnish video i watch finnish man: *saatana*

Out of all the languages I cannot understand Finnish must be my favorite

You didn’t have to say “drunk Finish man.” He’s Finish, we know he’s drunk.

Swedish surströmming is now officially the greatest plot twist in the world.

"why are these people eating fish outside" *the smell kicks in* "it smells like my feet after one month hiking in the winter with no showers and I steped in shit half the way and we used dead fish as insulators to keep our feet warm"

There are languages out there that are just fun to listen to. Créole, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian and Afrikaans are my favorite.

I’m from Brazil, never searched for Finland, have no ideia why RU-vid suggested me this video.

If this would have been an American they would have been puking and lying on the ground screaming.

"Vittuku o muute hyvää" 😂

This is such a wholesome video, just a couple of finns having a nice lunch trying out surströmming, nothing more, nothing less. I love Finnish people!

Love how the curse word tirade ends with "etc" 😂

"You won't be able to sell this house because of the rotten smell" 🤣🤣🤣

FINALLY somebody that liked it

I love the fact he ended up loving it xD

1/10 not enough Perkele, only heard Satana

It's true fermented herring tastes better than it smells. But it is very salty and shall be complemented with bread, butter, onion, potato, sour cream and maybe something more. This will balance the taste. But regarding the smell: it may smell bad, but nothing close to rotten smell. Also fermented is not the same as rotten. I advice everyone who has never tried fermented herring to do it with the right complementing ingrediences. You may find it delicious!

this is Art in its purest form, i feel like my life has been blessed

The half of the things he says is just swearing

Earlier this summer apparently my brother came to our house drunk at night looking for a can opener to eat surströmming with his friends. He of course almost puked. My mother also said that he fell down in a bathtub and almost broke his nose and drowned. I wasn't the least bit surprised.

I wonder, who was the first guy to go past the smell and eat it?

well it was mostly swearing and complaining about the smell but when they opened it, they said that "well this is just healthy looking fish" and intended to eat all of them by sharing them with others. They said that the taste is not as bad as the smell.

Welcome to Finland. This is what we call "a friday"

Took it like a true Finn at the end.

jonnejen eka kerta vetämäs denssii:

After one year in the German navy, I learned a few important things, about Surströmming!!! 1) No sober humen creature, ever atemp, to eat this " stuff", without being under the influence 2) 96 to 98 % of the customers are men, who are surrounded by their ( drunken) friends 3) Some say, they have seen a sober Skandinavien, standing right next to a sober Bavarian, on a picture, in a Fary Tails Picturebook🤔🙄🤣😂🤣😂👍👍‼️

Ha ha ha !! Thanks for the subtitles ! As a Swede i understood mostly the cursing, ha ha so the subs were very helpful. I have only tried surströmming once and it was like 30 years ago but i would like to try again some day.

Пробовал я эту селедку. Очень готовился что со мной будет так как я много раз смотрел в роликах ках подобного содержания. Все оказалось проще вкуснее и без рвотных рефлексов. Только её надо сразу съедать после в крытая! Она когда постоит хотя бы день уже не такая вкусная. Вообще вкусно.

Five years for google to reccomend to me the best surströmmings video on youtube. It might smell bad, but it tastes alright.

I haven't tasted it myself, but people handle it like dynamite so I guess the Swedes are up to something.

He actually liked that fish :D

I like that he is eating it wrong and still likes it. Usually you have it on hard bread with sourcream, red onion and potatos.

Hyi vittu mikä haju :D asenteella :D

This guy is so real

We eat everything when we're drunk

Kamalin haju minkä oon kokenu on kun kissanruoka annospussiin oli tullut reikä ja se ruoka oli sulanut mädäksi. Ajattelin vain että lipsahtanut enemmän kerralla annospussiin. Räjäytin sitten sen hajupommin kissan ruokakuppiin ja samalla se haju räjähti nenään. Kissa alkoi heti kaapia lattiaa ruokakipon vieressä kun ei raukka tiennyt muuta tehdä. Sitten vaan kaikki mahdolliset maskiksi naaman ympärille ja siivoamaan. Kissa oli jo tässä vaiheessa sängyn alla. Mutta niin liekö yhtä paha haju surströmmingissä vai pahempi. Ainakaan pilaantuneen kissanruuan haju ei jäänyt elämään, niin kuin kuullut että surströmmingin haju ei lähde ikinä.

"So the lawn dissappeared from the area..."😂😂

Canada: You guys want some pancakes? A salmon steak? How bout a poutine? Finland:

If it smells like rotting fish going in, just think what it smells like after digestion.

PERKELE!

Russkies: "Let`try to invade Finland!" Finnish guys: "Hold my surströmming!"

I dont see why police spray bottles of pepper spray through prison doors to get them out, all they have to do is open a tin of this and chuck it in xD

That's how a legend was born

I swear, when he was putting the fillets into the little dish... I swear I smelled it.

This has to be one of those dishes that came about from small families literally starving in winters. Imagine how desperate for food you’d have to be to eat something that smells like it would make you puke it back out, only to find its delicious and will keep you from starving to death lol what a weird discovery!

"The smell doesn't correlate with the taste" *pete and jengkol : my good mate*

Even finns arent crazy enough to open surstromming inside the house.

That's the freshest surströmming I've ever seen

I could smell that fish all the way in Australia.

Tbh, it actually IS pretty good if you like pickled herring

It looks like West Virginia and peak Appalachian hijinks: Get a can of notorious regional food that you can whip out the next time you and your buddies are drinking and dare someone to eat Mountain culture is amazing

Finland is a different dimension

Seems like you operate the can in the exact way you operate a claymore

Such a poetic video

I give him points for using a GI issue P-38 to open that nightmare with

IHA LOISTAVA! Iltalehtimatskuu :D

According to the father of one of my friends, the best way to open a can of surströmming is using a .22 caliber rifle (to keep a healthy distance) to make sure the rotten water seeps out and to save you from the stench of raw sewage. The more common suggestion is to open the tin can under water, like in a bucket of water. Even so, you risk contaminating an area the size of a quarter to half an acre (1000-2000 square meters) with the smell of sewage.

YT is quick. I used surströmming in a comment just a couple of hours ago, and here I got this.

How Finns get rid of flu

These still looked like a quite "mild" can. There's no bulging, which means the flavor wont be too insane and the fillets are not total mush. Fun video!

Apetor: Hold my vodka

That guy just goes "satan" for nothing... wait.... M Y S U M M E R C A R vibes

Tapio, great choise.

The smell reminds him of that one night stand..

They should've open the can inside a bucket filled with water. That way, the smell wont spread.

I would not eat anything out of a can that spurted liquid out. Is it possible for a can of rotten fish to go bad and how would you know?

Jos ruotsalaiset pystyy syömmään nuita leivän päällä nii kyl pitäs suomalaisen syödä tuota kun karkkia

No single perkele detected. They must be Estonians.

after all that insult im suprised on his vertict

this es when they declared him their leader.

"holy hell holy fuck etc." hahahha

I love this becuase I am Finnish and still a grown Finnish man cannot eat surströmming

I wanna know the thought process behind the man to first eat this

He ‘Finished’ the plate 😏

"Holy hell, fuck, etc." Lost it.

@Kenttiristi No, it´s not rotten, it´s fermented.

Does this product have an expiry date on it?

"You really can't smell this house after this smell" 😂

It's actually fermented herring and a delicacy by all accounts. I heard vittu, saatana and perkele :-))

This is the Durian of preserved fish.

almost pukes just opening it "hmmm should i eat this?"

"MORE BOOZE NOW" 😂

Feels like RU-vid of 2008... Is anyone else also imagining the smell of ammonia and sardines strong enough to faintly smell it irl?

So the trick to liking it is being drunk...

my potions are too strong for u traveller

I’m guessing if your drunk, anything is possible.

Well he's actually claiming it tastes good in the end 😅

I heard, that these cans have to be opened submerged.

Ruoka syödään vikisemättä!

I love all of his friends in the background copying him the whole video 😂😂😂

I only know of Sweden, Norway and Iceland where you traditionally eat fermented fish, but it should reasonably be found elsewhere in the world. At least fermented fish sauce is used in Asia and even the Romans had their variant.

Love Finns lmao, greetings from viro :p

TLDR; the smell is really bad but the taste is surprisingly good

I'm from Scotland and the worst thing I remember eating is haggis. That is a seriously foul thing dressed up as food.

se on yksi pahin haju, jonka olen koskaan tuntenut saatanan helvetin. hieno video ja jatka mahtavaa. ne eivät maistu niin pahalta kuin haisevat, mutta luultavasti olin myös humalassa, kun kokeilin sitä ensimmäisen kerran.

Open the can in a sink filled with water.

I guess having a glass of vodka after surstromming is the only way to get rid of the smell from your mouth

Honestly what else is there to do in Finland besides drinking and rally driving? Also I’ve only seen two videos recently of Fins talking and I guess “Satan” is some kind of profanity?

Someone let Finland know we have legit can openers now...

Amazing video

I have always wondered why was surströmming invented in swede, but not in use in finland? It is the horrific smell? Or the principle of NOT eating rotten food? Did swedes have badder famine than Finns in the 1100bc+ or were Finns just more creative to make food from "nothing" "pettuleipä" bread that is made of flours and tree bark... Or not to eat rotten fish or any fermented food (alcohol does not count). My point is, we dont eat surströmming in finland, but our neighbour does... Why?
