Prank
A true Swedish Classic!
Traditionally "enjoyed" with potatoes, onion and sourcream on swedish
flatbread.
Probably the smelliest food in the world!
Description
Surströmming is the Swedish name for soured fermented herrings. Caught in the
cool Baltic waters of southern Sweden during the spring months, the herrings
are fermented in barrels of brine for a month or two before being canned. In
the absence of pasteurisation or sterilisation the fermentation process
continues in the cans which, after approximately six months, pressurize and
bulge. This is perfectly normal and, as long as there are no leaks, they are
safe to eat from.
Perfect for a STAG PARTY, BACHELOR NIGHT or UNIVERSITY PRANKS!
You will have a great time sharing with your friends & family "make a memory
last forever at the the party"
The fish is often eaten as is or with tunnbröd, a thin, either soft or crispy
bread,
a tradition is to make a sandwich "surströmmingsklämma" using two pieces of
buttered tunnbröd.
In addition to the fish, two of the most common toppings are potatoes and
diced onion.
In Sweden, it is customary to use a variety of condiments such as shopped
Onion & Chives,
Crème Fraîche,and sometimes diced tomato's.

Absolut Vodka
