This is a hillarious video. Have seen it numberous times. I laugh everytime. Just awsome if you want to be in good mood. - Its the terminator of fish. Quote of the year.
I love it :). Have eaten it since childhood. Delicacy you are supposed to eat in August and September. You can eat iit all year around but according to tradition: August and September.
Well, you need to rinse it and eat a small piece of it with potatoes, red onions, sour cream, tomatoes and thin bread and drink a strong beer and it will taste okej
It is good. I eat it every late summer. But he does it waaay wrong. You take smaller bits of it together with boiled potato, sourcream, gräslök (English?), red onion, soft or hard white thin bread, snaps (Scandinavian spirits) and lager beer. Yummy! In august my cravings for surströmming party starts!
Ja, en gång om året är lagom. Lukten vänjer man sig snabbt vid. Man skall äta det ihop med folk som älskar surströmming (min mamma äter 12-13 st). Jag äter 1-2 st på en kväll. I små bitar tillsammans med kokt potatis, rå lök, tunnbröd med riktigt smör. Man kan bara ta fram så mycket smör som går åt, för smöret tar åt sig av lukten och går inte att äta nästa dag.
@@nickef4929I ate it the proper way, but I just put flecks of it on the bread. I could still taste it and it is very vile. I piled on the sour cream, the chives, the potatoes... nothing made it any better. Then it stayed with me for hours and I constantly burped and it was the fish fermenting more inside me. Never again. I think it's ok if people only taste the fish because they are getting the full effect of the evilness in a can. If you can't eat something by itself because it's gross... it's gross!
Frankly, who needs another "stinky fish challange" with coughing and choking people? Anyway, here are a summary of some basic rules from Sweden when it comes to eating surströmming (or fermented herring). Yes, it is smelly and salty, but for some reason surströmming has survived more than 500 years of recorded history in Sweden. Fermentation has been used by mankind for thousand of years to conserve food (probably in shortage of salt). Surströmming is produced in Norrland (northern part of Sweden) and mostly eaten during late summer or early fall. The traditional premier date is on the third Thursday of August. Here are some basic guidelines. (1) Surströmming should always be eaten together with good friends. A suit is not a most appropiate attire on this occasion. (2) Leave your children and pets at some other place before the meal (kids will hate the smell, dogs will love it). (3) Always open the tin can and serve surströmming outdoors (for obvious reasons). The can is best opened under water in a bucket. (4) Never EVER eat surstromming straight from the tin can - and PEEL OFF off the skin! (5) Always be sure to serve the right side dishes with surströmming. No one in Sweden ever eat just surstromming. Consider it as a spice with the sides! (6) After every bite, clear your throat with a sip of ice cold Absolut Vodka - blue label, 80 proof. Some prefer milk as an non alcoholic option. The CHALLANGE is to give surströmming the respect it deserves and it will give you a food experience that will last a lifetime!
@@mariastenfeldt5564Min polare öppna den i hans lägenhet för han trodde det skulle vara kul. Den exploderade överallt och vi fick klagomål från grannar inom några minuter. Jag sa till honom att inte göra det och fick förklara bort till grannskapet att burken trilla och exploderade och inte att puckot avsiktligt gjorde det som ett spratt 🤦♂️
I've three questions for Al. 1) will you ever trust a swede or anything swedish ever again`? 2) will you ever eat fish again or do you get a funny taste just thinking about fish? 3) how long did the nightmares last for? xD
These kind of videos has nothing to do with an interest to try other countries (in this vid Sweden) local cuisine. Nothing. It’s only for fun, getting more laughs and views. I soon think I must start my own channel, doing food videos. For example one where I’m testing eating hamburgers - and then I will eat only the hamburger, no bread, no salad, no sauce. Hell, maybe I even eat it raw. And then question how people can like this. Saying “Americans are crazy”. Or why not a video where I try tacos. Wherein I just eat the taco shell, with no meat, no sauce, no salad, just the shell. And then get a little disturbed, asking in the video how people can eat this. What’s the big fuzz. It doesn’t even taste anything. And...well, I can’t think of anything more. So, maybe not a good idea. Will be just two videos 😄
He's very brave to eat this but he do it in a wrong way, you open up the can under water because it makes it doesnt smell as much and if you get that juice on your clothes, throw them away. You eat it with smaller bits, sour cream, onion, hard thin bread, boiled potatoes and wash it down with beer and snaps. I miss the surströmming premiere every year after i moved from the north part of Sweden back home to Östergötland.
You are doing it the wrong way... Tunnbröd + butter + cooked potatoes + finely chopped red onion + sour cream AND FINELYFILENY CHOPPED PIECES OF SURSTRÖMMING LIKE WTF DUDE WAT R U DOING
The guy did EVERYTHING wrong for when it comes to eating surströmming. You open the can under water. You eat it with flatbread, butter onion, potato, sourcream etc. You don't eat it straight from the can like he did.
I guess it's like English mustard; you spread a tiny amount of it on bread and then have it with ham, salad or beef. Eating that like jam with put you in A&E with throat burns.
You definitely don't want to eat it sitting right over the can as most of the mell is in the "juice". A good idea (if he actually wanted to try it) would be to poor that of and then eat the fish far away from that. This is just dumb. But good for laughs I guess.
Its so different . the taste and the smell, the taste are avery big salty bat very special, you cant andersund befor you try it. It is good, Plase trye it
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! People trying surströmming are hilarious! I'm Swedish but I've never tried that shit. I mean, it's rotten fish for crying out loud. No. Just.... No.
You know the place the firefighters in Chernobyl. The nurse's dumped all the clothes. You must leave your suit at the same place after you lovey nutrition! Perfect dinner on the first date.
When I'm feeling down, I always come back to this video for goog tearing laugh ( the best lol in the web )

Är ingen challenge då
Fyfaaan it's the smell
At least he did it outside, some people make the apartment mistake 😬
I’m from Sweden and my grandmother made me eat this once 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It wasn’t as bad as I’d expected, but maybe I’m just genetically destroyed 😂 hahaha
Everyone is able to do smth with ease,impossible to other nations congratulations, you have it too😂😂😂
No Al it's not rotten it is fermented.😂😂😂 !!
This is amazing. Al, thanks for being hilarious!!

Håller med. Man ska ha potatis, tunnbröd, lök, tomater till, då blir det en utsökt måltid. Alla som ska testa får testa enbart och så gör man inte,
Älskar att du offrar en kostym för att äta surströmming!
It smells like disco Fanny 😂

Surströmming cans should not have an expiry date because this shit already expired some 500 years ago.
Detta är komedi på HÖG nivå; Jag skrattar lika mycket varje gång....
Came here after listening to the "Food Chain" podcast on the BBC. Lol

You just say this exact blurb in every surstromming video. If you don't like it, best not watch?
Haha, fyfaan! Jag började få kväljningar själv.
omg.. i'm crying here.... ahahahaha
When your heart says yes but your body says no. Hell no!
Kära Al Pitcher, du äter det på fel sätt som många gör....
ljusugnsbröd, smör, pressad mandelpotatis och surströming, eventuellt tomat, färsk dill, gräddfil...
3:36 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I laughed so hard i almost fainted!
I love Al for this! Guy makes me laugh
HAHAHAHAH SÅ KUUUUUUL!!!!
Trump should try this as a COVID-19 remedy
Inte faaaan kanman äta detta detta!!!
Jo, det kan man! 😋👍🍽
Men man har förstås rätt tillbehör till: kokt potatis, rödlök, gräddfil m.m.
Smaskens!
I am crying and laughing, so funny.
This should be the next RUclips challenge instead of all these stupid things people do 😂😂😂😂 this is not dangerous, just funny hahahahhaha
Enbart i Norrland äter vi surströmming på rätt sätt, VARFÖR inte visa honom hur vi äter surströmming? Utan att förlöjliga honom?
Ja du ska äta med potatis,lök tunnbröd,öppna den under vatten
@@mariastenfeldt5564Min polare öppna den i hans lägenhet för han trodde det skulle vara kul.
Den exploderade överallt och vi fick klagomål från grannar inom några minuter.
Jag sa till honom att inte göra det och fick förklara bort till grannskapet att burken trilla och exploderade och inte att puckot avsiktligt gjorde det som ett spratt 🤦♂️
Because the southerners are afraid that the foreigners will actually appreciate the dish. It's delicious!
Varenda kotte i Sverige vet hur man äter surströmming. Men var ligger utmaningen i att äta det på korrekt sätt?
Varför bara Norrland? 😢 Det går att äta i Småland också.
Im crying and swetting💩👍♥️🇸🇪
Holy shit I’ve never seen anyone gag so hard.
🤣🤣🤣Jag minns när jag blev bjuden på detta skit .så vidrigt... Men du ska äta det med mandelpotatis sa någon..😅😅😅 då är det gott 😂
I've three questions for Al.
1) will you ever trust a swede or anything swedish ever again`?
2) will you ever eat fish again or do you get a funny taste just thinking about fish?
3) how long did the nightmares last for? xD
Muma en gång i veckan är det lag på att äta surströmming ❤️❤️❤️
Gör ni det.🩵
Han gör ju helt fel
Now Al is eating this every year. And it shall be open up under water to prevent the smell.

Al Pitcher...FFS ! Eat it like a real swede then ! Andnot just opening the can >!...Get all the sides...potaoes,dill, sour cream etc.
Du ska inte äta enbart strömmingen. Du ska ta små bitar och lägga på knäckebröd eller tunnbröd tillsammans med rödlök, gräddfil och potatis.
IM från Sweden and The fin thing is that like nobydy in Sweden likes it either😂
calling surstromming for rotten fish is like calling wine rotten grape-juice.
He's very brave to eat this but he do it in a wrong way, you open up the can under water because it makes it doesnt smell as much and if you get that juice on your clothes, throw them away.

Worst smell ever.. I can't understand how any one can eat that.. 😂 🤣 😂
The thing is.. people are eating it the wrong way. You must also have all other accessories, not just the fermented fishfillets.
Yes, of course!
You are doing it the wrong way...
Tunnbröd + butter + cooked potatoes + finely chopped red onion + sour cream AND FINELYFILENY CHOPPED PIECES OF SURSTRÖMMING LIKE WTF DUDE WAT R U DOING
Why finely chopped? Whole fillets and plenty of it, otherwise you are correct (personally I opt out on sourcream but...)
You open it underwater outside. Or neighbors complain.
