An autumn tradition in Sweden
Last night, I have been to "Surstromming party" at our deaf club. "Surstromming" = fermented baltic herring. We eat raw herring with potatoes, tomatoes and onions, and also "tunnbrod" which is a kind of bread. You can see it on the pics here. And yes, you read it right, we eat raw herring!
Every year around August 19-30, we have Surstromming parties. It is big here in Sweden, especially in the northern parts of Sweden. I know that some, or most foreigners hate the taste of this Surstromming. But they are not used to it! It's not that bad, it just takes time to get used to this.
