Great story!
A friends of my parents visited us when we lived in West Africa in the 80s. They brought with them surströmming and without telling asked my parentd to invite som other norrlänningar (northerners, from the north of Sweden).
We had a houseboy and our friend told him, “come here I will show you something special”. Well, they went outside and he opened the surströmming tin. In a split second all the insects of Africa showed up (exaggerated). The houseboy said: “sorry mister, sorry mister, the food is spoiled”. He told the houseboy, “follow me now you will se something more”.
They took the surströmming inside and showed the dinner guests who cheered and was very happy. The eyes of the houseboy became big as a saucers.
He tried to give the houseboy money if he eat some surströmming, even a whole months pay, but he refused.
