How to ENJOY traditional way of eating SURSTRÖMING, stinkiest fish CHALLENGE

Many of you know Surströmming as the stinkiest fish in the world. There are many videos of people doing the challenge and failing to eat even a bite of it. But if Swedish in the 16th century were able to eat Surströmming without any problems, why are so many people nowadays puking in front of the camera once they have opened the can?
I have decided to try this challenge with a good friend of mine. We actually tasted and experienced the traditional Swedish way of eating this lightly salted and fermented Baltic Sea herring - Surströmming.
And this is how it went:

Great video and thanks for having an open mind! These were still some hardcore surströmming rolls. If you're new to surströmming and want to try it, check out the advice below :) For beginners: I would recommend minced red onions and chives and then maybe replace the creme fraiche with sour cream (personal preference). Use almond potatoes if you can find them (they mainly grow in the northern parts of scandinavia so they're not always easy to find). Also, open the can in a bucket of water to avoid some of the smell.

Thanks so much for your advice! ❤️ Your recipe is something we originally wanted to do, but here in The Netherlands it was difficult to find all the right ingredients so we went with what we got! I will pin this comment. Hopefully more people will see it and try it! 💪🏽

It's nice to see someone try this without reacting so over the top about it. Not that I think other people are faking it, but it seems like they really don't even know how to wrap their heads around it. Hopefully one day I'll be able to convince some people to try it with me. I'm not quite man enough to go in alone. 😅

David Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you appreciate the REAL reaction! Having experienced SURSTRÖMING it seems like many people actually fake the reaction just to make it entertaining to watch, but the truth is that it's not that bad once you try it traditional way. It's my first time trying any stinky food so I'm very excited to see if this actually deserve to be ranked as the top 1 stinkiest fish in the world. P.s now it's your turn! 😎

What was your biggest food challenge? 🤪

[@giveitashot5687]

I'm sure this will be it. I'm just not sure if it's you to who are so strong to ignore the smell or is it really just show business on other youtube channels...
