I knew of that site but I was just hoping to find it closer.
Thanks anyway
Better delete this post… Does this not count as a illegal weapon :P
I hope it's that good.
Is this a dare?
Here's a good one:
"Hákarl is a national dish of Iceland consisting of a Greenland shark or other sleeper shark which has been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung to dry for four to five months. Fermented shark has a strong ammonia-rich smell and fishy taste."
It will burn your mouth with ammonia if you take too big a bite.
I did hear about hakarl and a few others like it but I'm after the winning smell of surstromming.
Aren't you supposed to wash it, then eat it with other condiments? It's not like a can of tuna…
I am not buying it to eat but I might try a bit so my family can have a laugh.
you might find some at your local rubbish tip if you dig enough …
don't forget to open the can in your bedroom
Or an Apartment or anywhere other people can 'enjoy' it. Beware it can be an evict-able offence in some countries :P
I think you need frost bite on your nose before eating it.
Heat it first for extra bang for buck
No time to come to your house, can you have a look around. 🤔
How big was the bet?
No bet but when all else fails, grab a can of surstromming.
This is either a dare of an act of revenge, either way I wanna see the video!
Revenge of course. 😂
I tried Ikeas food shop once, no deal there
I read that it might be only one day a year that they sell it.
Perfect that's what I'm after.
There is too many funny vids to pick a favourite but I do enjoy this one. Thanks
I guess I have to import a can. Maybe I should start selling it over here. I wonder if there is a market?
Grossest thing I can remember is this:
"Kiviak or kiviaq is a traditional wintertime Inuit food from Greenland that is made of little auks (Alle alle) fermented in a seal skin.
Up to 500 whole auks are packed into the seal skin, beaks and feathers included.[1] As much air as possible is removed from the seal skin before it is sewn up and sealed with seal fat, which repels flies. It is then hidden in a heap of stones, with a large rock placed on top to keep the air out.[2] Over the course of three months, the birds ferment,[2] and are then eaten during the arctic winter, particularly on birthdays and weddings.[3]
In August 2013 several people died in Siorapaluk from eating kiviak that was made from eider rather than auk. Eider does not ferment as well as auk, and gave those that ate it botulism.[4]"
These guys say they ship to Aus at least https://www.surstromming.com/buy-surstromming-in-australia.h…
