I saw this when I was looking for a "rotten fish" picture and had to check it out. And people actually eat it? And like it? They say "once you get past the smell...

Surströmming

Surströmming (pronounced [sʉ̌ːʂtrœmːɪŋ], Swedish "soured (Baltic) herring") is a northern Swedish dish consisting of fermented Baltic herring. Surströmming is sold in cans, which often bulge during shipping and storage, due to the continued fermentation. When opened, the contents release a strong and sometimes overwhelming odor, which explains why the dish is often eaten outdoors. A Japanese study has shown that the smell of a newly opened can of surströmming is the most putrid smell of food in the world, beating similar fermented fish dishes such as the Korean Hongeohoe or Japanese Kusaya.[1]

Are you kidding me? Is this *&&^$%$&^ real?

I really can't get my mouth lathered up for something that swells the can before you open it, and you have to eat it outdoors.

Rob started this as an experiment to see how many replies a post about absolutely nothing got and how many directions it would take. Just part of the modulating job.

Too bad I can't post this other fish picture...

You know you got talent if you can spell out the alphabet by swinging your ass about a piece of cardboard during the elimination process. What good that talent would be is for someone else to decide.
