In Need of Traditional Swedish Food! (25)
Xifajk: Hey guys and girls,
Hope everyone is fine first after the Christmas cheer and season. Me and my cousin are planning a New Year's Day Dinner and we always pick a different country to make life a lil bit more interesting and to try the different cuisines out there. We would like some help on some TRADITIONAL SWEDISH recipes. We need everything from starters to desserts. Any suggestions is helpful. We've been browsing through the internet for quite some time however, we always found various recipes of one particular recipe. So we don't know what's best...and we don't want to start the new year with some food poisoning or so xD
Anything would help really :)
Thanks all, and stay safe!

Well… if you can’t choose among different variations, then I’d recommend “surströmming”: you don’t need to prepare it and you can’t do wrong with it – it’s already rotten.
Don’t know what its taste is, as I never dared to eat it, but the smell is sooooo foul it guarantees you’ll never forget it.

Surstromming That will be a short dinner
I recommend to open the container direct on the table

That certainly is nót the tradition – one opens it outdoors and waits until the living organisms have adjusted to the changed circumstances. Then and only then you take the dish inside.

All that adjusting of the organisms, would that be enough for not having their aroma??

There is a tradition in Sweden to eat seafood and shellfish and surströmming in the end of August / beginning of September. Usually the weather allows to have the event outdoors, and with surströmming it’s really very handy, as, as said, the smell is just dreadful. I’m not entirely sure why Swedes carry on the tradition, perhaps to show their stoicism?

...Gravlax mit Pinot Grigio... Yum!
CuspofMagic: ...Gravlax mit Pinot Grigio... Yum!
Sounds like a laxative
Ha ha, I hadn't heard of this "surströmming".... Now I know where expired fish cans need to be sent... I mean, it didn't look bad at all in pics, very much like our (Latvian) normal marinated/pickled herring, but if Wikipedia says that "Surströmming is sold in cans, which often bulge during shipping and storage, due to the continued fermentation".... Is it even safe to eat it?

Why not? Fermentation will continue in your “inside world”, that’s all.
CuspofMagic: Recipe...
Made it twice – the first time it was good, the second – not. From that experience can safely say that it’s much convenient (and perhaps also cheaper) to buy it at a food store.
Surströmming (pronounced , "soured (Baltic) herring"), known colloquially as Scandinavian rotten fish, is a northern Swedish dish consisting of fermented Baltic herring. It is similar to kusaya. Similar fish is made world wide. Surströmming is sold in cans, which often bulge during shipping and storage, due to the continued fermentation. When opened, the contents release a strong and sometimes overwhelming odour, which explains why the dish is often eaten outdoors.WIKI

“A weapon is an instrument used with the aim of causing harm or death to human beings or other living creatures…” WIKI
Actually I think that “surströmming” fits the definition above more than anything else…
CuspofMagic: bah! convenience with practice comes variation, good or not bad
Well… there are situations when convenience comes only with a life’s long practice…
…and then one is lying in a coffin as convenient as it’s humanly possible…
N’ya… let’s have easy solutions!
