I am not trying Lutefisk (fish soaked in lye) or Surstromming (rotten fermented herring) either. Although I would try chicken and waffles before either of those.

I'd try them, just so I could say for sure how awful it sounds! :laughing:

A friend of mine and I used to go to a little Asian food market across the street from our work about every Friday and pick out something new to try. Then we'd bring it back to our office, sit down across the table from each other, and, while the rest of our coworkers watched, we'd try it. Some things were not so good and some things were very good.

You just never know until you try. :licking:

What's not to like? From the wikipedia article....

"Because of the strong smell, surströmming is ordinarily eaten outdoors. The pressurized can is usually opened some distance away from the dining table, and is often initially punctured while immersed in a bucket of water, or after tapping and angling it upwards at 45 degrees to prevent the escaping gas from spraying any brine. This prevents brine from getting onto clothes and gets rid of most of the initial foul smell."

Sounds delicious and the critics really enjoy it!

Can of rotten fish? No Thanks!

By the way apparently the British and others pronounce “z”, “zed”, owing to the origin of the letter “z”, the Greek letter “Zeta”. This gave rise to the Old French “zede”, which resulted in the English “zed” around the 15th century (from the internet). So the question is how did the US get Z (Zee)?? Again from a different internet site: The U.S. pronunciation probably came about by analogy with the letters bee, cee, dee, gee, and so on. It was standard in American English by the 19th century, and it’s now so deeply ingrained that many Americans are unaware of the British pronunciation.
