Surströmming
Apparently Wikimania will coincide with Surströmming day in Sweden this
year [1]. Anyone fancy trying this smelly Swedish delicacy together?

(More discreet, private offers to take me to try this fish also welcome.
I'm a big fan of Cantonese salted fish [2] so I'm fairly confident I can
cope with Surströmming.)

also like to experience this "snoek" competing fish, especially forthose
who won't be able to make it to Sweden.

Re: Surströmming [ In reply to ]
The airline may not allow it to be transported. The cans build up pressure and the amount is not known. Also you can imagine the complaints if one of the tins burst in the hold. On the other hand, think of the fun if customs decided to open it. Whatever you do, don’t try to take any into Australia. They would probably jail you and throw away the key.

Cheers,

Peter

Re: Surströmming [ In reply to ]
So the best way to do this is probably to find a restaurant or some other
place that will serve you surströmming, but should anyone get a can, do
*not* open it indoors and preferably keep the can submerged in water when
you open it. Fermentation continues in the can, which builds some pressure,
and upon opening it might greet you like the enthusiastic sprout of a whale
breathing out.

Of course, not being hit by the full force of the smell takes away some of
the memorable, exotic part of it, but that way, you'll experience it as
reasonably normal food rather than a potentially vomiting-inducing aroma.

I’d imagine this will dramatically change the budget for the activity — I imagined it would be a volunteer organized activity, like some beer tastings have been done in the past, and will be done again in Stockholm.

Traditional “special” foods are generally sold at ludicrous prices, and Sweden isn’t known to be cheap already as far as I’ve heard.

Can you make an estimate of how much the experience might set us back?

Cheers!

during
Wikimania. We will provide you with more information next week.

My family traveled to Sweden 3 years ago & they are now jealous that they
didn't get Surstromming when they visited summer 2016!

Re: Surströmming [ In reply to ]
I am devastated for having missed the surstromming session :-( :-( :-(

At around 4 I walked into the coolest tool awards (which were great BTW)
and I got so carried away I totally forgot about the surstromming...

I made a desperate effort to get hold of some surstromming at the airport
and indeed it is true, it's not available for the known reasons... (I
bought a jar of pickled herring instead).

So, did anyone actually LIKE it???

Re: Surströmming [ In reply to ]
I liked it! I wanted a second helping but it all ran out before everyone
had had a go!
