I take it that it's not a common dish, from the fact that you've never tasted it. Is it that kind of food that is mostly eaten by old people in rural areas?

It seems that as you go north, the joy people take in rotten food increases.
I've heard that similar things are eaten in Iceland and the Faroe Islands.

Actually it is very common. It is a Christmas dish for a quarter of the Norwegian population. The other three quarters mostly just by looking at the "dish".



Personally I can't stand the stuff, but my mom loves it. The eyes are the best, I've been told.

crayfish is also good..

It's called "surströmming" which translates into "sour herring". It's popular in the northern part of Sweden. The rest of the country usually don't touch it unless "to go where few men have gone before". Hehe, no seriously it's tastier than one would first think.

What excactly is surströmming? Do you know if it's anything like the kind of herring we eat in Denmark?

Yeah, it isn't that bad but you have to eat it outside because it smells a lot.

I wonder if this is something Kombat-Santa (friend of Modem and me) eats. Have to go and ask him... LOL
