    Yeah, we are all horrified and all, but no-one is asking the pertinent question:

    What did it taste like?

      Like Skittles apparently.

      Taste the rainbow.

      The Inuit (formerly called the derogatory ‘Eskimos’) have a taste for fermented whale blubber.

      The Scandinavians also have a taste for fermented seafood.

      There’s something about living in freezing weather and developing a taste for semi rotten food.

        I’d wager it has something to do with living in a barren wasteland for at least half the year.

          When the choice is between starve to death or eat the putrid thing, most people will eat the putrid thing.

          I dont think the boyfriend was at risk of starving.

            Yeah no I was speaking about the scandinavians, not the bf.

        Excuse me, but that’s only the Swedes! We may have other weird eating habits in Denmark but surströmning ain’t one.

        Likely because there aren’t a lot of herbs and spices where it’s cold and fermentation adds complexity to the flavour.
