I tried this – on a visit to Iceland, my (older) family friend / impromptu tour guide made me and my traveling companions taste it. The young Icelandic locals in the rest area laughed their asses off and snapchatted the whole thing, because "no one eats that anymore, it's for old people obsessed with traditions." Makes sense, it was truly disgusting. The Hvalspik (https://guidetoiceland.is/history-culture/the-worlds-most-disgusting-icelandic-food https://guidetoiceland.is/history-culture/the-worlds-most-di...) really was quite interesting though.

I love the quote from Wolfgang Fassbender "the biggest challenge when eating surströmming is to vomit only after the first bite, as opposed to before”. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surströmming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surströmming
