Nordics like Fish
Many many Swedes and Norwegians have suggested that I made a comic about “surströmming”, which is mainly a Swedish dish, but can also be found in some parts of Norway. It smells so bad that it is mainly eaten outside in the summer, and many Swedes enjoys exposing Danes to it just to see their look of horror at the smell.
Hákarl is a special Icelandic dish made of rotten shark, that is more traditional than normal, though you can still find it in supermarkets. It is said to be the most disgusting food in the world.
Pickled herring can be found in all Nordic countries, and is particularly popular in Denmark. In fact, a Danish adult who doesn’t like pickled herring is seen as rather weird.
And non of this is of course supposed to be eaten like this. You are supposed to put it on bread.
And to the newcomers: “Skål” is the Nordic word for “cheers”.

Then again, I have never eaten it. I like fish, just cooked like Americans.. Or the brittish...
Fresh, fried, baked and occasionally like the Japanese, raw.

And America isn't on this one because of the soul-deep horror all of this inspires.
It truly is horrifying.

I ordered pickled herring by mistake once in Berlin. Oh boy.... I ate it anyway, just because I am stubborn as hell.

@lexa Are you from West or North Norway?
I've tried many delicacies from Scandinavia like surströmming, sheep eyes, the tongues of several animals and so on, but Hákarl is still on my list.^^

Don't forget to wash your ammonia-smelling shark down with plenty of Brennivín.
I think I'd actually need several bottles before attempting to eat Hákarl.

A Japanese study recently showed surströmming is the worst smelling people food in the world. And somehow people keep eating it. . .
