I love watching people try to eat this stuff.

That was hard to watch.

His optimism was inhuman.

He gave it everything he had.

You know a starving person must have discovered that fermented fish was okay to eat. Someone desperate.

Someone desperate.

Desperate in the long Scandinavian winters.

I have a similar theory with those swiss cheeses that reek beyond description.

I think it was the Japanese who started fermenting foods.

Which one?

Which one?

Exactly.

His final statement tells the tale..

Surströmming, out of ten.
Gets a rating of FUCK ALL!

It is actually easy to eat surstromming. You just have to shut off your sense of smell.

In the first decade of this millennium, I visited my father in Sweden.

We both were able to just shut off our noses. Many people obviously aren't.

It even tastes quite surprising.

But all those wimps trying... It is a joke of Darwin, they literally die, while trying.

With 3000 years of incest, obviously a fucking Brit can't take it.

Nice to watch, nonetheless.

I also want to state, that it really pleases me watching some retards while they try to become famous and fail again. :) :) :)

Hint: Try to follow advice of locals for once. Instead of doing it "your" way.

Surströmming with potatoes actually makes a fine meal.

Let's set the video.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (17 children)

This video ITSELF tells you should water it and fucking WAIT for the smell to dilute. So when he exposes himself as an idiot, that's on HIM.

[–]Tom_BombadilBombadildo[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (16 children)

Yeah.

But it's still has to reek.

Show me what you got! ;-)

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (15 children)

We waited a whole night for it. And of course, we watered our surströmming on the outside of our house.

Because my father was no fucking idiot. In contrast to this incest-ridden pile of genetic trash born from millennia of incest living on an Island whoring for clicks.

[–]Tom_BombadilBombadildo[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (13 children)

Could you eat it without preparing it?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (12 children)

As I wrote: My father was not an idiot. To me, it seems quite obvious, that these genes aren't recessive.

So: Possibly, I could, but I'm not dumbed down enough, like my mom (and her mishpoke) to try.

[–]Tom_BombadilBombadildo[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

Eat it like a boss.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

After you, your highness.

[–]Tom_BombadilBombadildo[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

Yeah. I'll never hang my hat on eating gross food.

Assuming I'm not starving; I can't be bothered to eat yuck. Not gonna happen.
