How to Eat SurströmmingSurströmming, often referred to as one of the world's smelliest foods, is a unique culinary experience that many are curious about. Originating from Sweden, this fermented herring has been both a source of intrigue and a beloved delicacy for centuries. In 1981, a German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after the tenant spread surströmming brine in the apartment building's stairwell. When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord's party demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom. The court concluded that it "had convinced itself that the disgusting smell of the fish brine far exceeded the degree that fellow-tenants in the building could be expected to tolerate".
