Maybe if you live in a faggy suburb or commie block apartment complex.

Fuck off Ahmed

europoor delicacy that they try to convince you is good but is on par with great depression era food

Didn’t a man get evicted for how horrible it smells?

Probably monster hunter world. Literally made me barf.

Fermented herring.
The smell is very strong, as a kid it was so bad I could barely stay in the same room, or even in the same house where a can of it had been opened, but after that it wasn't so bad and I've gotten used to it. Adults screaming and running away from it are probably exaggerating.
The taste isn't so bad, very salty, an acquired taste for sure, I kept eating it mostly to annoy my siblings. I'm not sure if my dad and grandfather genuinely liked the stuff or if it was all part of some long troll that I'm now taking part of.

Can someone shop MGSV onto the can

Is there any Swedish user that can actually explain in short what is the appeal of this food or how the tradition started? Im sure there must be some non-culinary explanation to eating rotten fish

Tbf I would destroy that black whale

Can anyone compare it to lutefisk?

Dwarf Fortress

i want to fuck a dwarf

Lutefisk smells better but somehow tastes worse. Idk what it is with northern europeans but their food is fucking nasty.

I kinda like it, you know, once a year.

Lutefisk is just an excuse to drink akevitt

Is it anything like sauerkraut?

Fukken love that, too. Like gin and whiskey had a bastard idk. Both make me think of Christmas.

No, sauerkraut is edible, this is something on another level

Too bad, I love sauerkraut, but realize not many foreigners are accustomed to it.
I thought it was something similar.
Sauerkraut is just fermented raw cabbage.

Why is your food all fermented garbage?

As an American in Finland the first thing I did when I went to a Finnish grocery was buy a jar of fermented herring cause I'd heard how horrible it was. It was horrible, but because I had no money I ate the whole thing and ended up liking it.
I still buy a packet or two of salmiakki from Amazon every now and again 'cause I acquired a taste for it there.
Also cloudberry jam.
Also juustoleipa.
Also those salty pancakes.
And damn if I didn't love the sauna. Damn. I miss Finland.

Sheeps head. Smalahove. Its a meme dish. No one actually eat that stuff anymore, at least as far as I know.

In the midwestern US sauerkraut is somewhat common due to the many people of german descent.

every real american puts kraut on their hot dog

How is Salmiakki an aquired taste? It's delicious. Do Americans not like liquorice or something?

Only mustard and onion belong on a hot dog

Just a prank

>not putting both those with kraut

Yes, americans despise licorice generally. I personally think it tastes bitter.

That's smalltime user. Real norwegians drink beer, smoke hash and eat shrooms like our viking ancestors

Nah it's a goats head, which is somewhat of a delicacy in the northern parts of norway where everyone is inbred and don't know how to cook

Sheeps head, and its from the western part. Northerners eat fish.

I don't know about other real nordics, but surströmming is actually delicious. Many think I am crazy but me and my family are eating these with no trouble at all. And no, it is not illegal to open one of these cans anywhere in Sweden.

Why does any european country that doesn’t speak a romance language have repulsive cuisine?

What is pierogi of vidya?

Can hardly grow grapes and olives up here

Skyrim, soft and easy to get into but kinda bland unless you add things to it.

Not bad, not bad. It needs to be a game that has an inexplicable Indian flair, though. For the curry which has somehow become standard for pierogi.

You liked it since the first time you eat it?

From time to time my common sense will leave me and I will buy a lot of these and my shit will be pure black for a day or two and my mouth will feel like I've been eating sand paper and it probably does not treat my insides well.
But I love them.

>Adults screaming and running away from it are probably exaggerating

same kind of retards who try Marmite for the first time by slathering it bread on by the spoonful wondering why is tastes so horrible

That should be reserved for something nearly exclusively European, especially Western.

It was strange and stinky the first few times. But after a while you get used to it.

What is the sopa de macaco of vidya

>the first thing I did when I went to a Finnish grocery was buy a jar of fermented herring cause
what a lying nigger you are
you don't find fermented herring in any grocery store, you basically have to order it from sweden/norway or find a specialized store that carries it off-shelf

Funkar, men det är ej mitt favorit godis. Ahlgren's bilar för mig.

LoL

looks so much better the way he prepares it
I'll think about it the next time I eat it

Tibia

During the 16th century, Sweden was sorely lacking salt due to our warring with the rest of Europe. Thus, strömming (herring I think) was stored with way less salt than usual, leading to its fermentation.
It was a cheap way of storing food, basically. Though it caught on and it's still eaten today. I don't like it, but some do. Maybe a 50/50 split, with the aging population liking it more than young people.

haha bög

Food preservation, user. Back in the time there was no fridge. Basislly the same reason the Chinese eat rotten eggs in prepubescent boys' piss.

>Back in the time there was no fridge
there was snow though

>every single eating challenge video just eats the fish straight out from the can
Geeee I wonder why they think it taste awful and makes them puke.

Marmite/vegemite though does taste pretty terrible

quick google shows discussions on which grocery stores in finland has it, maybe they just don't have it in your local grocery store

It's just poverty version of regular pickled herring. Pretty gross, but I do like pickled herring.

you're not supposed to eat the whole fucking fish dumbass, you gut it and scrape the good bits on bread with toppings. dumbass tanks

It's good if you use a little on toast with butter or adding to beef stews. Eating it thick on a crack will obviously taste vile

My experience with Dorf

You eat people?

its literally not carried anywhere as a main stay, even in helsinki
Lutefisk on the other hand is probably sold on most bigger markets all-year round

Fermentation and pickling are ways to store food for the winter before refrigeration, and in a lot of these countries there's like a meter of snow on top of everything all winter, so good luck getting anything to eat that you didn't prepare beforehand.

Fermentation in general just floods a food with non-harmful bacteria that creates acid byproducts which kill other bacteria, keeping the food safe to eat. There's a lot of foods that are fermented that you wouldn't think of being fermented, like cheese, and sausages too.

Nobody actually eats corn dogs for breakfast. Usually it’s eggs, bacon or sausage, and biscuits, waffles or pancakes. Also mostly we drink coffee or orange juice

thank you for your service.

>even in helsinki
Stockmanns food department according to previously mentioned discussion found through google

While I don't personally enjoy it, some family members do. And it's not actually that disgusting if you eat it the way it's supposed to be eaten, just an acquired taste.

First off it's the half rotten salty water in the can that's truly foul. Normally you'd open the can underwater and basically rinse all the fish off, then you strip the pieces so you only have the flesh. You'd eat it on flatbread with boiled potatoes, onions, various other things. This all neutralizes the taste somewhat and makes it much more appealing. From what I remember it's a similar salty/tangy taste to moldy cheese. You'd also eat it together with copious amounts of alcohol.

It started because ye olde fishermen in the baltic sea would catch herrings in the spring when they were most numerous and large. Fish (and meat in general) had to be salted to be stored for long periods before refrigeration was a thing, but salt was expensive. So someone got the bright idea to put just enough salt in the barrels so that the fish didn't rot, but didn't preserve them perfectly either, it fermented. They buried the barrels for 6+ months and then ate it as described above. Simple and cheap way to store the fish until later in the year when it was needed.

American faggots take an entire fillet out of the can and down the whole thing and wonder why they vomit everywhere. It's a condiment you retards, you eat a little bit at a time on bread, you don't eat a whole jar of mayo at once

Seething obsession.

Why would I trust you?
Your claim is extreme, that there's no food store in the entire country that sells it, and therefore the previous user was lying.
From five seconds of googling I can find a second person claiming that you can buy it in at least 1 store in the country.
For your claim to hold any weight you'd have to be intimately familiar with every single food store in the country, whereas they only need to know of one (1) that sells it.

Oh and its listen in Kouvola and Lappeenranta at least.
