Al Pitcher provar surströmming (extramaterial)

Vad är typiskt svenskt? Den frågan ställde vi till den Nya Zeeländske komikern Al Pitcher. Resultatet blev en serie filmer där Al (med blandad förtjusning) tar sig an allt från surströmming och smörgåsbord till sommarstugeliv och kubbspel. Se fler klipp på www.canaldigit...

Redan 2011 vann han ”Bästa manliga komiker” på Svenska Standup-galan och året efter gav han sig ut på den hyllade och utsålda ”Fika tour”, som följdes upp av den minst lika framgångsrika ”Påtår tour” 2013 och ”Nääämen it’s Al Pitcher tour” 2014/2015.

[@bjurv]

It is good. I eat it every late summer. But he does it waaay wrong. You take smaller bits of it together with boiled potato, sourcream, gräslök (English?), red onion, soft or hard white thin bread, snaps (Scandinavian spirits) and lager beer. Yummy! In august my cravings for surströmming party starts!

[@charlottablommaskog4208]

Ja, en gång om året är lagom. Lukten vänjer man sig snabbt vid. Man skall äta det ihop med folk som älskar surströmming (min mamma äter 12-13 st). Jag äter 1-2 st på en kväll. I små bitar tillsammans med kokt potatis, rå lök, tunnbröd med riktigt smör. Man kan bara ta fram så mycket smör som går åt, för smöret tar åt sig av lukten och går inte att äta nästa dag.

[@Quzinqa1122]

Gräslök = Chive

Yeah, i agree. Im so tired of all those challenges, where people eating it total wrong!

[@perlarsson1933]

Frankly, who needs another "stinky fish challange" with coughing and choking people? Anyway, here are a summary of some basic rules from Sweden when it comes to eating surströmming (or fermented herring). Yes, it is smelly and salty, but for some reason surströmming has survived more than 500 years of recorded history in Sweden. Fermentation has been used by mankind for thousand of years to conserve food (probably in shortage of salt). Surströmming is produced in Norrland (northern part of Sweden) and mostly eaten during late summer or early fall. The traditional premier date is on the third Thursday of August. Here are some basic guidelines. (1) Surströmming should always be eaten together with good friends. A suit is not a most appropiate attire on this occasion. (2) Leave your children and pets at some other place before the meal (kids will hate the smell, dogs will love it). (3) Always open the tin can and serve surströmming outdoors (for obvious reasons). The can is best opened under water in a bucket. (4) Never EVER eat surstromming straight from the tin can - and PEEL OFF off the skin! (5) Always be sure to serve the right side dishes with surströmming. No one in Sweden ever eat just surstromming. Consider it as a spice with the sides! (6) After every bite, clear your throat with a sip of ice cold Absolut Vodka - blue label, 80 proof. Some prefer milk as an non alcoholic option. The CHALLANGE is to give surströmming the respect it deserves and it will give you a food experience that will last a lifetime!

[@raideurng2508]

[@Micke_K]

He's very brave to eat this but he do it in a wrong way, you open up the can under water because it makes it doesnt smell as much and if you get that juice on your clothes, throw them away. You eat it with smaller bits, sour cream, onion, hard thin bread, boiled potatoes and wash it down with beer and snaps. I miss the surströmming premiere every year after i moved from the north part of Sweden back home to Östergötland.

The guy did EVERYTHING wrong for when it comes to eating surströmming. You open the can under water. You eat it with flatbread, butter onion, potato, sourcream etc. You don't eat it straight from the can like he did.

[@lewis72]

I guess it's like English mustard; you spread a tiny amount of it on bread and then have it with ham, salad or beef. Eating that like jam with put you in A&E with throat burns.

[@AndreasStenberg]

You definitely don't want to eat it sitting right over the can as most of the mell is in the "juice". A good idea (if he actually wanted to try it) would be to poor that of and then eat the fish far away from that. This is just dumb. But good for laughs I guess.

These kind of videos has nothing to do with an interest to try other countries (in this vid Sweden) local cuisine. Nothing. It’s only for fun, getting more laughs and views. I soon think I must start my own channel, doing food videos. For example one where I’m testing eating hamburgers - and then I will eat only the hamburger, no bread, no salad, no sauce. Hell, maybe I even eat it raw. And then question how people can like this. Saying “Americans are crazy”. Or why not a video where I try tacos. Wherein I just eat the taco shell, with no meat, no sauce, no salad, just the shell. And then get a little disturbed, asking in the video how people can eat this. What’s the big fuzz. It doesn’t even taste anything. And...well, I can’t think of anything more. So, maybe not a good idea. Will be just two videos 😄
