Surströmming Challenge in Sydney

[@sanjogh777]

You guys made the Americans look like pussies..Clearly Australia>America

[@Rod_MolinaBachmann]

+Sanju Wayne; We Australians are used to strong tastes. We eat Vegemite and Hot English Mustard regularly. Not as fragrant as Surströmming, but much stronger in taste.

[@Rod_MolinaBachmann]

+ProblemBoy Official; lol doesn't surprise me if the riot cops start pouring a couple of those cans on the water cannons ! lol

[@hermontesfaldet7356]

[@darvenskylouis3214]

Once you begin to watch these surtromming videos, you can't stop

[@Leondrius]

Some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen

[@bakatstravarenmattsson3418]

You are much better than americans they just scream, how foul it is, you are excellent for first timers.

[@Zosiac6]

I'm impressed by you! Only here in Sweden we eat this without vomiting as in other countries. Grettings from the North( Sweden)

[@Fuzz-]

Nice to see you guys are employing proper etiquette and using forks for this.

[@FredDude27]

I'm Swedish and I like surströmming..When it is unopened and is in a store far far FAR away from me :P

[@adrianheydari3484]

Fredrik Häll klockren xD ;D

[@MrBigden37]

+Fredrik Häll LOL

[@uching1718]

did you spot the family dog getting a whiff of that rotted fish and slinking off. Not even the dog wants it.

[@Helldober]

Greetings from sweden! AND THAT MY LADIES N GENTS FROM THE WORLD AROUND,LOOK AT THESE AUSSIES THEY KNOW HOW TO HANDLE A CHALLENGE WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE LITTLE GIRLS!!! Well done!! :)

[@ShadowFalcon]

I don't know what our Swedish neighbours (I'm a Dane myself) were thinking when they made this concoction. I mean I love herring. Pickled herring (red or white), smoked herring, fried herring in vinegar, charred herring (sorte sild), hell even herring in a curry sauce. But surströmming?!? I think I'd rather take a dive in a sewage plant. One of the guys on my Residence Hall has a can, and we basically all live in constant fear that today might be the day he opens it.

[@davidjirvin5410]

The best group so far I've seen watching all these videos you guys handle the bad fish much better than anybody else a round of applause

[@kalle645]

If you can eat it like that you should try it the right way, sourcream, onion, and sliced boiled potatoes on hardbread with butter, and try to remove the skin and bones from the fish first and chop it in pieces. You might like it.

[@pearlanders]

Please understand that all the films where people open a can and eat fish like dogs is completely wrong way to eat this delicacy. You should make a sandwich with potatoes, onions, a few small pieces of herring (because they are very strong flavor) and tomato slices, and if you want to balance the flavor a bit, you can also have the Keso or sour cream on the sandwich. The bread must be unleavened bread, often baked in a stone oven. Now, if you do this correctly, it is a fantastic dish and does not taste like it smells, and often those who once tried it do it several times again. If you get a chance, and find yourselves in Northern Sweden, try to be with a real sour herring party with people around you who can help you get it right ... :)

[@Hadmin]

The sandwich is the childrens way to eat. The tunnbröd should have a stronger cheese on it, but the main meal

[@pearlanders]

Du är ju galen! ALLA äter surströmming på det viset...

[@Hadmin]

Näedu, klämman är välkänd ja, men den slutade jag med när jag var 15, för mycket bök istället för att bara rensa och äta! Tror en av 10 äter klämma i släkten

[@pearlanders]

Ja kanske du ja! Men 95 % av alla som äter suring äter ju med klämma! Men skit samma, vi gör olika! :)

[@TWISM1337]

Well done! Considering how well you guys handled that, you might actually enjoy surströmming if you do it the right way! Wash it under water first, get some swedish tunnbröd, sour cream and spring onions. Mix it all together and it can actually be enjoyable. It is an acquired taste for most though.

[@Tramseskumbanan]

I eat surströmming every year. It’s an old tradition. My favorite market is “Röda Ulven”.

[@fredrichl]

Brilliant! You lot took it like champs. I'm impressed!

[@ImNotaRussianBot]

Very cheerful and open-minded, as an American, I love you guys. Good stereotype.

[@Zulgaines]

The guy with the white hair is a stone cold bad ass.

[@beyondkiu24]

Because he said it tasted like his wife cooking!!! hahaha

[@bjoorne13]

You did better then many of us swedes, respect! :d

[@darkiee69]

The asian guy at 10:20 eats it like a pro, I'm impressed. :-)

[@arlix100]

no one is puking, very strong guys

[@andymate2006]

12:02 That's my Dad. Would love to put this on my KZbin channel as well.

[@3505597]

How come you folks not drinking vodka? Awesome video btw, very positive atmosphere.

[@owensmith2969]

Sergey Mayorshin oh we drink vodka we love the vodka ❤

[@BillionNames]

I swear every outlander that tries surströmming always eats it from the can. Thats like eating butter without bread.

[@chilliredhotred]

BillionNames We actually had boiled potatoes and sour cream ready on the side (have a closer look), but we didn't want to spoil the fine taste of the fish.

[@MrZombie999]

chilliredhotred You guys did well with that now try the Norwegian equivalent, its fermented poison shark :)

[@stefansigfridsson4304]

Great work! :) It´s nice to see some people that can eat Surströmming and not puke or run away! :D

[@moh459]

Aussies got balls of steel.

[@miosen7100]

I'm impressed that everyone in this clip actually eat our stinky fish :-) I won't go near an open can of that, but I have friends who loves it..

[@TheJohanMT]

Well done hehe Welcome to the Swedish northern culture hehe. Do you think it might be a good export commodity ;)

[@chilliredhotred]

Johan Tronestam We could trade your Surströmming for our Vegemite !!

[@parlindstrom4641]

Everyone seems to try it just the fish and not how it should be eaten

[@SteamboatW]

Well, I tried Marmite and Vegemite, and I must say that I prefer vegemite.

[@EnderCrypt]

man, that looks like a cool neighbourhood

[@beyondkiu24]

I can still taste it 3 years later!! 👍👍👍

[@dailydoseofbeauty-coaching113]

Australiens are hard core, kudos !

[@gustavusadolphus4103]

You ate that like real vikings, im impressed!

[@ShaunTroy]

I am 13 and our can came today. I'm in South Australia. Eekk bit worried now

[@judgedread5835]

aussies got more hair in their chest then most people who tried surstromming for the first time..

[@djurlivet]

at least 8 people filming and taking pics. crazy.

[@jannetammi1]

Daaamn! the Aussies are more versatile and open-minded than many people in the world that had tried and failed to eat herring! This is gansta "shit" in Scandinavia :) just lite fermented whale in Iceland! We just have fermented herring old delicate food, just a food to separate men from the boys! It´s usually opened in underwater like in a bucket of water, to get rid of excess smell and gas! i personally ate it first time when i was 16 and liked it :) Just some people don´t have the stomach for it. I recommend to have a stiff vodka afterwards! And remember to give a kiss to the missus ;)

[@cyrilzp]

the most excellent group trying this.

[@MrBigden37]

Aussie's are tough. No problem. The food of Vikings

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

+MrBigden37 Vikings were Norwegian. This repulsive shit is Swedish.

[@MrBigden37]

How Do Ya Like Me Now, Chucklehead? The term “Viking” isn’t particularly specific, so for the purposes of this post it will mean the people living in the resource constrained parts of the Viking cultural milieu, namely Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the islands of the North Atlantic, including the Faeroes, the Shetlands, the Orkneys, and Iceland. Indeed the Swedish were Vikings during the "Viking Age"..

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

MrBigden37 LOL, as you wish. With all that knowledge, though, you couldn't have chosen a Swedish-specific group to attach surstromming to?

[@MrBigden37]

+How Do Ya Like Me Now, Chucklehead? Perhaps, but I couldn't be that cruel. LOL. Its not a good sign when your dog hightails it out of there.

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

MrBigden37 LOL. Okay. I'll give you that, but as a Norwegian-descended Australian, I can't forgive it. We don't like to be associated with vile, rotten, gross shit. Rape and pillage, yes, but surstromming? No way! :D

[@cool_piglet]

i am pretty sure you can use it as a biological weapon against spiders

[@Wintermist-SWE]

Oh well, colour me impressed! You guys did awesome :D

[@MegaFrankyJ]

fukin dog doesn't want to be a part of it lol

[@bjorntee3178]

The can should be opened under water :)

[@Leondrius]

You guys manhandled that surstromming

[@Triad162]

George RR Martin's best method of killing off characters

[@abramswee]

i cant find it in brisbane. where can i get Surströmming in Australia??

[@thebrunettestarbuck]

How did you get your hands on it? Can't find it anywhere

[@HinFoo]

everyone got the cameras up... see the World through the screen..

[@spacedog3340]

12:23 Saw it coming! Swallowing his pride haha

[@lindsaythompson6389]

Sense of taste and smell dulled by vegemite?

[@chilliredhotred]

No vegimite - PLEASE !!

[@Rod_MolinaBachmann]

+lindsay Thompson; and also by Hot English Mustard.

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

+lindsay thompson No, by booze, I reckon. They/re all holding.

[@ВадимОвечкин-и8э]

Not surprised that elderly people can eat it. Taste buds not the same as in 30 years.

[@MightyForSure]

That dude pretty much spat in the food

[@kirderf7222]

We swedish people are nuts in this way. This so called delicacy is nothing of the kind. Just the thought of eating fermented fish is beyond comprend. I appologize on the behalf of sweden for "Surströmming" around the world.

[@SignInGrazy]

Don't apologize,i like to taste it some day,but right way/swedish way. I'm a finn. :)

[@pigsmellfrommecca]

hannes maximus That's ok with me.lol

[@josh.palaci3276]

Wasn't Surströmming originally a dutch delicacy?

[@kirderf7222]

Cannot confirm that. But i do believe the version of surströmming everyone is eating today is the swedish version.

[@josh.palaci3276]

ahhh ok, thanks ;) Sweden rocks btw,

[@evulme1]

That is the wrong way to eat it. Add potatoes, onions, sour cream on a crisp bread. U can also have some dill on it!!

[@Rod_MolinaBachmann]

+EvulMe; Thanks for the advice. Will try it that way next time :)

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

+EvulMe Or you could just eat fresh fish now that it isn't the Middle Ages anymore and you don't need to ferment shit this way and eat it half rotten.

[@evulme1]

You eat what ever you want!!

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

EvulMe Indeed, brother. You're entitled to your rotten fish. I'm not saying you can't have it, I'm just questioning the logic behind it.

[@Rod_MolinaBachmann]

+How Do Ya Like Me Now, Chucklehead?; I think it is not rotten but fermented. Nowadays there isn't a survival need to have it that way either, but a centuries-old tradition. A lot of food in the world does not make sense to some but it does to others. It depends where you live and what you are used to.

[@manormalton]

Just wondering... Where did you get it? I'm trying to find it in Sydney :) did you buy it in a store or online?

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

+manormalton It looked like it was in a parcel package. I'm guessing overseas.

[@RennieAsh]

How much is it to get some of this ? lol

[@AWildMagicarp]

Where'd you get this stuff in Aus man? :)

[@RennieAsh]

They ordered it online I think, see how it came in that package :)

[@SGTSAS]

Holy shit..... Balls of steel!

[@Ricardosucio]

Whoever opened that is a fuckin' man. It smells horrible enough with a twist opener. This gentleman did it oldschool. /respect

[@blyjd91]

For sure. Opening under water is for pussies!

[@jakemj03]

That's how it's done boys!!

[@farovail6838]

why is everybody filming? there were around 7 people filming this^^ don't you know about whatsapp?

[@stevekanakanui7033]

Fucking Aussies rocked it !! hats off to ya mates ...

[@klausg892]

Surströmming just tastes so good !!!

[@elisabethfinneran2918]

Bred ,onion, tomato ,potatoes ,sour cream or creme fresh together with the fish that has been filleted ,that's how you eat surströmming .

[@davidkirkland7295]

now they handle that like a real boss well done gentlemen ladies your next

[@queenmadeleine]

Nice tog see. Im swedish and I have only eaten about 4 in ny whole life.

[@nitehawk9270]

the guy in the 2013 finisher shirt looks like a cop

[@pulverapa1580]

Watching this I wonder how it was allowed into Australia... Hehe.

[@maxschmidt1787]

this grandma was taff!

[@Furaxxxxx]

Its rotten fish, some poor Scandinavians several hundreds years back were probably starving and all they had acess too was rotten fish, threw a bunch of salt on it and made a rotten fish stew and live too tell the tale. 200 years later people pretend too like it all over the world x)

[@shawnbateman79]

Seems once you get past the disgusting smell then its actually tolerable to eat.

[@chilliredhotred]

No, it's really quite rank. But here is my tip for you: should you ever dare trying it, don't wash it down with anything fizzy; the burps are worse than the foul eating experience ;~o

[@shawnbateman79]

chilliredhotred eww God... sounds horrid :(

[@azeriustv]

Wow Not bad. I tryd it myself and Safe couldnt swallow it

[@conniepatterson7215]

The cuisine and smell in Australia must be shite if this does not phase them!!

[@kurtsoderberg]

it adds hears too youre chest

[@КЛАРАНазарова-к3ц]

Reeeeeeal men!!!!

[@AlbaSaab]

[@TheOspris]

[@ulinshaharudin7893]

[@jentr83]

Hoppas att jag kan utmana med mina aussie cousins där :)

[@saekomdalkoms]

캬 역시 멋진 남성들!

[@Kogut-95]

Ну конечно! Мужики пива насосались, и им теперь все равно, что кушать!

[@moistenedeel4791]

you can trust the chinese to like this

[@blackrainbow5143]

Aussies are so badass

[@odenthor7255]

Vetter tan,kangery

[@alexanderlindquist5623]

oskars is best!!! damn good taste i can even drink the salt water from the fish

[@HowDyaYouLikeMeNow]

+Alexander Lindquist So could I... if I washed it down with battery acid. Or Drano. Either one would be less revolting.

[@KingKong-os7iv]

Using salt to preserve food before refridgerators and freezers.Simple as that. Not a culinary treat, more like a trip throug human history.

[@KingKong-os7iv]

Oh yeah, you'd not eat it like that. Swedish thin bread, potatoes, red onin, butter and a tiny piece of surströmming. And also, snaps. And a nice song :)

[@millervh2597]

Straya boys that's how it's done

[@Ericnorify]

You can't call it dicusting when you're not even serving it right. Very ignorant.

[@jadwigawiden5098]

You are no cry babies and know howe to treat some new ideas off happy time together maybee a litel hard metal food goes good to dito musik Absolut vodka

[@richardhendrickson3690]

No fair Aussies eat Vegemite! That is just as horrible!

[@Postghost]

Nah, you probably just eat it wrong. Perhaps you eat it like an American - i.e. slather it on an inch thick like a consumer drone with no concept of what "less is more" means.

[@richardhendrickson3690]

I ate a vegemite sandwich made by an Aussie at the birthday party for Prince's keyboard player back in 2000 and it was pretty awful. Course he did make it from scratch from what he could find in the cupboards!

[@Postghost]

lol

[@MrZombie999]

Richard Hendrickson Vegemite is ok but Marmite is better, just saying :)

[@melissalove2463]

Postghost 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kiezkwok8067]

The most boring surstromming challenge ever

[@Hadmin]

Cause it isnt s bad as overreactionary youtubers think

[@beyondkiu24]

Sorry about that: Will try making it more interesting next time. Asian guy # 1

[@zoom5024]

you Aussies are though, not like the Americans. the right wing party in Sweden use this on people to see if they are Swedish or not. i guess you passed the test.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Use a proper can opener FFS.
