For anyone curious: you're supposed to open the can outdoors, submerged in a bowl of water.

Sorry about your basement. That smell is never coming out.

@@devilslighter2987 fully underwater

[@jaydedgaming3293]

@@devilslighter2987 The first one. That bulging in the can Mr Sausage mentioned is the fermentation gasses building up, which are released when the can is opened, causing the liquid inside to squirt out. To prevent the droplets from ruining anything they touch, you're supposed to submerge the whole can underwater, then crack it with a can opener while it's under. That prevents the initial splatter from going anywhere but the water. Then you can take the whole thing out and finish opening it from there.

[@StrawHatTony420]

If it's so bad then why eat it even in small amounts? You can't open it inside or get a mouthful of it without puking but yall still find ways to eat it?

@@13mungoman13 I think it might also be because a container like this may burst from the pressure change, you couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't come open during flight. Mind, the bulging exhibited by the tin in this video is also pretty mild, as time goes the gasses will build up more, and the tin will bulge accordingly, and the more it bulges the more the tin itself weakens and the more sensitive it is, with the stench inside getting worse. When you're looking at heavily distended tins they are like little bombs, stinkbombs. In any case, common courtesy when opening tins of Surströmming is that you hold the tin under water while you do, as that reigns in the stench a bit, so do it by a lake or river, or have a bucket of water with you.

Alright Sausage Man, don't panic. There is still hope that you can salvage your house. What you need now is vinegar. Lots and LOTS of vinegar. Get yourself one of those gallon bottles and bring it downstairs. Space out as many plates, shallow bowls, jar lids, pans, and whatever else you have that can be filled with vinegar as you can all around the basement, especially wherever the can and the nasty fish juice was. Then, fill them all up with vinegar. You want SURFACE AREA, which is why I recommend shallow vessels and not bowls, cups, bottles, and other containers like that. Also, get a spray bottle and fill it with more of the vinegar, and spritz some into your AC cent (I'm guessing you guys have central AC, anyway. If not, just spray it into the vents of the air conditioners.) Repeat the spritzing periodically since the AC is obviously going to blow it back out after not too long. Once you've deployed the vinegar, open as many windows, doors, and holes in the wall as you can to allow for extra ventilation. You can also aim desk fans and box fans out said doors, windows, and holes in the wall to speed up the process some. If this doesn't seem to be working, that's okay. Just keep doing it. This is probably going to be a battle that takes several days. The vinegar WILL win eventually. Just keep replenishing it as necessary once it starts to evaporate or the fish smell starts overpowering the vinegar smell again. The surströmming is limited. The vinegar is not. Maintain your supply lines and let attrition do the rest. Good luck, soldier. -t. guy who likes to cook but sucks at it and winds up burning a third of his recipes and filling the apartment with smoke

Something I've noticed practically every time someone abroad tries surströmming, is that it's almost always all mushy and pasty. It's not what it's supposed to look like originally; it's supposed to be clean and whole pieces of fish (with their heads removed) in brine. However, I've understood it that the reason this happens is because of the air pressure when it's being airshipped? Which kinda just squeezes the innards of the can into mush. Guess there's little you can do to help that. Which is a shame because it's really tasty looking originally. Though, I suppose the smell and flavor are probably the same no matter what it looks like.

@@MikoSquiz Just don't use the fermented liquid, only the pieces of fish you fish out.

[@trashpanda5947]

1) Surströmming should be opened, handled, and eaten outside and preferably consumed together with some alcoholic beverages. 2) The traditional way is to remove bones, skins, and guts if you have them and then use the meat as a toppping on a flatbread sandwich with butter, potatoes, onion, sour cream, tomatoes, and whatever other thing you might want on the sandwich. Because of this I think that having onions in the sausage would likely help. 3) A generic issue with most sausages I've seen you make is that you just grind the thing and put it in casing. Here you actually added ground meat which improves the texture which should be standard procedure imo. Adding an egg should also be standard since it avoids the mushy texture that tends to haunt many of your experiments. 4) Treat the fish like a condiment more than the food item itself. Adding meat wasn't a bad decision at all. This is modern-day garum but with more texture. 5) That can was unusually disintegrated. They are supposed to be pieces of fish that somewhat hold together where even the file has skin on it which you remove as you prepare your sandwich.

I’m scared of a sausage for once Edit: a 4/5 I’m just as shocked as I was since the cat food sausage!

[@damiencouturee6240]

Did you get to see the Balut sausage before he took it down? If not, he ended up taking it down, that should say how bad that one was lol.

[@angelopalmieri434]

@@damiencouturee6240 I did see it immediately when it was uploaded and this one still seems worse, graphic things don’t bother me but smells like this are especially heinous 😂

[@damiencouturee6240]

@@angelopalmieri434 I don't disagree, I've just never smelled surstromming so Ive really got no frame of reference here lol. The Balut didn't bother me either, but it was unarguably one of the most unpleasant things on this channel lol. The tiny feathers in the sausage, it's awful lmao.

@@damiencouturee6240 if you ever smelled a garbage truck go by or one of those dumpsters behind every grocery store that compacts food waste….yeah smells like that lol and I agree the feathers was disturbing.

[@cavalierliberty6838]

We won't ever leave you, Mr. Sausage. Don't worry

[@unsweetenedfruit]

Oh you poor man. Everything that smell touched is forever tainted. That smell doesn't leave ANYTHING. Vinegar has no strength against the Surstromming. Gonna have to get a whole new house.

Frisk vågat, hälften vunnet! Sincerely from a Swede: I'd try that sausage, they actually looked GREAT at the end there!

[@jacksonhodge4638]

I bet your cats would love this one.

[@HorusGodEmperor]

Finally! After years of asking, my calls have been answered! Thank you for making this sausage and imagine my surprise that it scored so highly, and Mrs sausage, don't blame him, it was my fault, I asked for this and he just provides the engine to deliver. Much love!

I was begging for it too!

You and me both. Now we just need a Pink Sauce sausage...

[@sambird7946]

He already made one!

[@BruceAlarie]

mrs sausage sez NO!

[@TheCaptainLulz]

1:10 - Surstromming was a food of famine, they ate it because its the only thing they had to eat. Thats what made them do it. Now its just a sick nostalgia, and a macho check..

[@BJGvideos]

Wouldn't it be better to just eat the fish itself instead of wait for it to ferment?

[@scottm9605]

Pretty sure they open these submerged in a bucket outdoors. You're insane.

[@MarvinConman]

Everyone who ever tried surströmming and watching this had the same reaction during the first minute: "Wait... He's not going to open this INSIDE the house, right? Wait, what are you doing?! NOOOOOO- too late."

[@gregvs.theworld451]

No fucking way. Welp, thank you Mr. Sausage man. Greatly appreciated, sorry for bugging you.

[@guyjackson1261]

I was hoping this day would come. Edit: That is not a pure surstromming sausage, I am disappointed, 0 Mark Ruffalo's. I bet Binging with Babish could make a pure Surstromming sausage.

[@MrBjnelson]

I remember Surströmming from Wreckless Eating. Those were great. Wish there was an Ordinary Sausage x Wreckless Eating crossover.

[@sitharc]

Or them + Cult Moo. Since they also have/had a sausaging show, among others that'd be fun to see OS in, like roflwaffle, blank of destiny, etc.

[@xenodee027]

You can add many things in a sausage, but surstromming is DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF THEM

[@Shmooping]

Love from the H3 podcast Opened a can in his room and it lasted 2 weeks. So Mrs Sausage will be gone for a month max. Who knew fermented fish would be the downfall of their relationship!

[@TheRealDrae]

Mr. Sausage: *opening it indoors* "This world shall know pain."

[@pluesch.]

Damn, he took it surprisingly well. This wasn't nearly as bad as I was actually hoping for lol.

[@axleblaze7455]

All accounts I've heard say the fish is actually pretty ok if you can power through the smell

[@KainYusanagi]

@@axleblaze7455 Yeah if you open it underwater like you're supposed to, then pull out the fish and eat it as is traditional on tunnbrod with butter/sour cream, potatoes, and onions, it's actually pretty good.

[@lred1383]

@@KainYusanagi question is, why not eat normal fish and skip the self-torture

[@KainYusanagi]

@@lred1383 Because the fermentation was a preservation method. That's also how we initially discovered cheese; animal stomachs were used to carry liquids, and goat stomachs with rennet in them (all ruminant stomachs contain rennet) naturally caused milk carried in them left to ferment (as fermented milk was a desired drink at the time) curdled, which become the first loose cheese curds that eventually over a lot of time and experimentation, were refined into the plethora of cheese varieties known and loved today.

[@lred1383]

@@KainYusanagi i understand why it was done in the past, the question is why would you subject yourself to something like that in an age where food is abundant all year round? Things like cheese and alcohol stayed popular because they have other merits, but i NEVER see anyone actually defending surstromming's flavour as something outstanding, the best i can find is people explaining how to consume it without vomiting and ruining your house
