Well, some Swedes eat Surströmming, that's ... umm 'bad' as well.
I heard a joke that went like this:
To eat Surströmming, you need three lakes. One lake to open the can in (so it does not splash), another to rinse the fish and a third one to wash your hands in. Then avoid bathing in these lakes for the next decade.

- dijit 7y agoThe problem is the smell and the fact people don't know how to handle it to avoid the smell. (Hint: for starters you have to open it under water people!)
- dehrmann 7y agoI think only half of the Swedes I know have ever had Surströmming, and none of them were excited about it. Now snus is another story...
- notJim 7y agoFrom the Wikipedia page: "German food critic and author Wolfgang Fassbender wrote that 'the biggest challenge when eating surströmming is to vomit only after the first bite, as opposed to before.'"
