I pulled the link to this video out of the comments of the last gag post (H/T to Magson/Irish). It was funny as Magson wrote and even though this was pre-planned/edited, it looks like the guy might have actually got a "dose" of this mess as he opens the can. It gets silly after :41 or so IMHO.
I bet William Jefferson Clinton could eat that stuff, considering what he has endured for years.
ReplyDeleteProbably smells about the same.
DeleteBill never touched it; but Hubbell certainly did.
DeleteThat can was bulged! Never open a bulged can...
ReplyDeleteClinton eventually outsourced that task to his buddy Webster Hubbell.
ReplyDeleteI can only take that twink's voice for about two minutes and I had to turn off the video.
ReplyDeleteFebreeze and a Prius? Yeah, the girlfriend he mentions is imaginary. The line about a $3 bill comes to mind. . .
ReplyDeleteJust burn the car....
ReplyDeleteNever heard of surstomming til now, so i googled it.
ReplyDeleteBetween the description and this video, I doubt it would make good stink-bait.

Few years back I took the family to Sweden to visit friends. Midsummer Feast with our Swedish friends included this stuff. They opened can outside of house, brought it in, my two American kids and wife immediately went outdoors. The men ( who all spoke Swedish, very little English ) were all challenging me to try it. It’s basically raw fermented herring, yes the can was bulging. They were spreading it on a hard rye wafer. So I did too. What I didn’t notice was they were burying it under onion and chives. I ate it with out the garnish. Absolutely disgusting, somewhat more palatable with the onion and chives. They bestowed upon me “honorary Viking” status. Couldn’t wash that shit out of my mouth for 3 days!
ReplyDeleteA nearby town did Scandinavian Days. I learned that Scandinavians do horrible things to fish.
ReplyDeleteLutfisk... Soapy flavored fish jello?
Then Surstromming. Like above, you have to open it under controlled, remote conditions; never indoors. Then the real trick is that it's an ingredient in a little cracker meal NOT a main course. A cracker a lot like a Matzah wafer, a very thin smear of fish, a thicker layer of yogurt or sour cream, generous application of chopped onions... And it's reduced to just being a strong fish flavor with the other ingredients. A unique strong fish flavor. And if you don't care for strong, oily, fish it's the worst way to get it.
