Hi guys, I'm looking for Surströmming which is a Swedish
delicacy. It is herring preserved in brine, and its invention dates
back to the days when sailors on long voyages prevented food from
rotting when the refrigerator was yet invented.
Surstromming makes smelly bean curd smell like shampoo. It is
sold in cans which have not been vacuumed, and by the time they are
on shelves, the tin cans are usually bulging. They are best eaten
with bland starchy foods, and the custom is to eat them within a
Swedish flatbreadrolled up together with onion and boiled
potato.
Does anybody know where I can get Surströmming?
