ORIGINAL: Zorch Thank you for playing; you get to choose your prize: lutefisk or pickled herring. Pickled herring is delicious, or so they say... Anyway, I think you will like it if you try it. or at least learn to like it. Surströmming, on the other hand, is a acquired taste. Surströmming is sort of a fermented herring. And I am told that it taste better than it smells, but I haven't been crazy enough to taste it. The smell is enough to scare me away. And it has happened that cans with surströmming has exploded... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming According to a Japanese study, a newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe or Japanese kusaya
