Surstromming in Sweden 

I seriously love your adventurous personality. You can just see in your face and eyes that you are genuinely excited about trying new things. I admire that. Great video!!!

While swedish saying durian is the worst smell lol

i love so much that you are respecting the culture from which this food originated by eating it as they would.

Finally someone is just trying fish and not performing on camera. Thank you, Nora for good video and respect to the traditions of a different culture. I also found the smell very distinct and strong, however, fish itself is tasty - good creamy texture with herring-like taste. Rather salty, yet it goes very well with boiled potato, some onion, bread, and a little of sour cream. I have a can in the fridge for Christmas, though I need to admit I am the only one in the house who likes it.

Great video. There are numerous videos out there of teenagers doing the so called Surströmming challenge which consists of opening a can of Surströmming and eat a piece of it while the aim of that is not to puke. It´s often so ridiculous how they exaggerate their reaction to its smell so its soooo refreshing and nice to see how it really is eaten.

You're actually supposed to open it in a bucket filled with water. This stops the juices going everywhere as the cans are a little bit under pressure, it also keeps the smell inside the water. Kudos to the lady for not wretching lol

She is so polite. I like that ,people should respect other people's culture. She said the smell is distinctive not bad.

I admire her attitude! 😊😊

Really appreciated! Greetings from Ukraine. We were so happy to have such a nice delicasy here! Thanks for share the right way to eat it

This helped to take the unnecessary pressure out of wanting to present an old swedish custom. No violent reactions like screaming, convulsions or vomiting. Just showing the more or less right way to open the can. There could have been more explanations on the stuff accompanying the fish. What do you drink with it apart from Aquavit? The beautiful woman presenting it made up for the lack of informations, though. Well done. Thx!

I always open mine outside. Place in bowl, rinse with club soda or ginger ale, clean them out, rinse again, cover with white wine, bay leaves, dill and juniper berries. Then serve with sour cream or yogurt.

You have a beautiful energy ! Lived that video

I think we have seen enough video of Surströmming “challenge“ which is rather childish. I’d like to see more fair reviews like this on how Swedish people eat it in their traditional way. I appreciate people who know how to respect culture of others.

excellent example on how your first time sampling Surstrommings should happen.... theres so many horrible videos on here of it.... thankyou for sharing. Cheers

The best Surstroming video! Thank you! Greetings from Arkansas. 💗

Good job 👍😀 nice you did it 👏👏 with class 👌

Perfectly done! 😎

Is she swerving those over pine needles?

Norwegians sold the rotten fish to the swedes and they loved it.

I’ve been researching and wanting to try surstromming for quite a while now, but I’m wanting to get the best brand. I love these videos where they show the traditional way of eating it and not mocking it or just wasting food. People need to expand their pallets and try new and even weird things.

I would try this if I was in Sweden at this table! I love pickled herring. Not sure if I would love this but I’d try it.

Goodness those are some gorgeous fillets, I have heard horror stories of customers opening their cans and finding little more than gelatinous remains with a few bone fragments, but these are premium (I'm unsure if folks are buying expired product by mail order and getting ripped off). This lady's presentation of the product is enjoyable and her demeanor is very professional.👍 I would enjoy trying surströmming, as I do enjoy pickled herring, beef liver&onions, and other strongly flavored foods. I am very eager to give surströmming a try, should the occasion arise, btw EXCELLENT presentation!

what a cool experience. i bet that was fun.

I may actually try it sometime! Any suggestions on what foods would go well with it? Also, could you please tell me what the background music is called? I think I want to learn it on guitar. Thanks!

I so want to try that. Got to find a store that sells it or a restaurant that serves it.

The song is very nice . Who plays it ?

Oh, quite look nice. I want to try it once when i have a chance to travel Sweden^^

Muy buen video saludos desde méxico

Haha, an American teaching a Swede to eat surströmming, that's just hilarious! Kudos! Most so-called surströmming challenges on RU-vid have no idea how this is to be eaten. (Mustard or ketchup isn't necessarily a top hit consumed all on its own, either....) To disprove the Japanese study, I had some friends over for surströmming last month. The first thing the visitors' three-year old son says when I open the can is: "That smells so good!" I can guarantee you, there was no prejudice in this young man.

I'm from Sweden.. and first of all... It's open wrong, you shall open it under water... and mybee also clean the fish in water... second of.. But you eating it quite right... but you can also have like... corn to also... you can have pretty much everything... do make less smell you can also, ... put the can in the freezer half hour before opening...

I think I would be brave enough to try it in the Swedish way, if given the opportunity. I doubt I ever will have the chance, though. My family would just be retching all over the place, ROFL. I have really weird taste in food, though. I'm sometimes partial to a jar of pickled cockles & have also enjoyed slices of processed ham soaked in malt vinegar (as an occasional snack). I've also gone through phases where I'd be obsessed with certain foods; like the time I had raw onions in sandwiches (usually with ham) almost every day, another time when I adored smoked salmon, or when I was addicted to jars of gherkins ... & so on. Not only that, I have to have plenty of salt in my diet (for medical reasons) & I'm used to putting plenty of salt on my meals. For this reason; I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I were to actually enjoy the taste of Surströmming, LOL. 😂

wonderful video, so respectful of a tradition.

Very nice video...I will try surstromming at the first oportunity...

Nice!

This is so cute.

She's awesome

The Vikings left Sweden to get away from the smelly fermented fish.

What a beautiful, sweet and delicate person.

I love love surströmming! Good video!

You're a brave lass.

Duża klasa, super.

Sorry. But i have no idea where that story came from. It actually dates back in the 1600th where food was difficult to preserve. And when the herring only could be fished in large quantities during the spring you had to either dry, smoke or ferment the fish to be able to use it as food all year around. Northern part of the baltic sea is the only place you can ferment herring without it getting rotten cus the fat content is low enough. Which made the tradition finding it's way to Finland as well during explorations and such! Good video tho! 😊

thx

Opening the can inside a bucket of water makes more sense because you can wash the fishes at the same time.

This is Cool

Dude she is brave

is Sustromming a salted fish?????

Как есть консервы по акции из Пятёрочки

American family: Ok guys, today we doing the surströmming challenge, got our puke bucket on the ready just in case Swedish family: Hello there, today we are trying the surströmming delicacy, along with chopped onions and fine wine

Delicioso a mi me encanta 👍🏼

if it is salty then it is good no matter how it smells

graciast

Hi I'm jamanese, Surstromming is looks good. I want to try it. but.... My house is very little....can't nasty smell.

How could someone handle that smell,

Respekt =D

Los invito a México a probar unas tortas ahogadas :v

congratulations you've made a Swedish burrito.

Her historical explanation, can't possibly be accurate. Fermenting fish dates back thousands of years, and the Finnish have ludafesk, which is similar in a way. But she is very cute so forgiven.

очень красивая девушка..

aND NOW I LOVE YOU

I couldn't get past the smell when I tried it. I just couldn't get it to my mouth. To each their own.

Ohh gitu

Your the man girl 👍👍👍👍😁🇩🇰

Delicacy my ass.... Actually what comes out of my ass is more of a delicacy. P.S Im Swede

Oh my mother f, how can ppl eat this indoor??

It dates back 3k years. Not 1800s lol

Rotten fish tacos? hahaha

I have tried that shit, and it doesn't taste especially good. You can tell that it's not gonna be a hit already when you open the can and smell the gas that escapes. But in the end I suppose that beer is drinkable. At least it's pretty cheap, and it gets you drunk.

Minced surstromming with mayonnaise on white bread.

Surströmming*

SKÅL!!!

hmm... she eats it like its nothing.... Nice job :)

I Love You

Люди говорят могут сильно обидеться , если отказаться от лучшего кусочка за столом . И хоть Меня никто бы не пригласил , все же терзают сомнения . На что бы обиделись сильнее , на отказ гостя от этого "лакоства" или на то что гость весь стол обрыгал и всех кто вокруг ?

these are the real ones...why the ones abroad are all like crashed in the tins ?

nothing says family like bringing stink fish to dinner, lol

K

Throw the fish away and eat the pine limbs 😂

Culture or not yogurt and rotten fish are just not something that belong together

Yuh speek gud merican fer uh swedish

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Let me kiss you after you eat that 😂

U should try South east asian foods and find the real delicacy rather than a deceased canned fish

You are very cute.

Very salt

Ha ha; in Sweden the story is the other way around! Go figure...

Nena tu novio no te va a dar un beso nunca mas jajjaaj
