The fermented fish section had me laughing out loud in a quiet library...! Thanks for bringing us to Sweden with you. And I hope you make the short list for the prize...!
Thanks, Maggie! Sweden has many tasty foods, but that surströmming ain't it. Their pastries and the availability of so many lovely, wholesome salads and (fresh) fish meals make up for it, though.
They sure do! Have you tried Jansson's Frestelse? When I visited Sweden in 1995, I stayed with a dear friend for a week, and her mum put on a Swedish smorgasbord on my last night. I'd heard about Mr Jansson's Temptation, and wasn't keen to eat it, but it was actually ok.
Love their Semlor buns. And pretty much all the food.

I'll pass on the cat pee dish, though.
Fermented food is good for you. Pics of the smelly cat piss fish? 😂
I'm generally happy to eat fermented food, but I have my limits. I thought I'd include more... palatable... pictures, haha.
Rebecca, huge congratulations. And thanks for the thoughtful reflection. Also this was very amusing though I now don’t ever want to meet that fish.
I've eaten other hard-to-stomach foods and this was unquestionably the worst, smell-wise. Thanks for the congrats. : )
Congrats again on the long list, and thank you for talking about your failures and almosts. It’s so refreshing and inspiring to read.
