Swede set to 'disarm' 25-year-old herring tin

[lafinjack]

A Swedish fermented herring expert has been called to help "disarm" a 25-year-old can of the odorous Swedish delicacy that managed to literally raise the roof of a cabin in northern Norway.

"If there's any fish left in the can, I'm going to eat it," Ruben Madsen of Sweden's Surströmming Academy told The Local.

Extremely accurate use of tags. If it smells anything like lutefisk...

[dafairyness]

Eesh. I mean, to each their own, but eesh. The only (supposedly edible)food I've ever smelled that is worse than lutefisk is durian.

durian is a beautiful majestic thing.

(i grew up eating it in pancakes and icecream and all, so i don't find it offensive at all. cheese on the other hand, is mostly gross to me)

I'm totally fascinated by the concept of durian -- how can something possibly taste good and smell so foul? -- but i haven't been brave enough to experience it for myself, yet. :P

You think durian is bad you have clearly never smelled a noni. I had a roommate that used to leave them half-eaten around the house, and I thought someone with a horrible foot fungus had entered the house.
