OMG. It's like ah, ah.
It just squirted.
Oh. Why, Mark?
Why, Bro?
Why are we doing this?
What's up, guys?
It's the Vagabrothers, and we are in
Stockholm, Sweden with a challenge:
try the worst food in Sweden.
So to find out what that is, we're going to go
down to this street here and ask locals their opinion.
Let's go.
What is the most disgusting food in Stockholm?
Surstromming. Surstromming.
Surstromming.
What is it? It's pickled herring.
It smells really bad.
It isn't allowed to open it in public spaces.
What does it smell like? Sort of like pooh.
It smells like pooh? Rotten corpse.
Have you guys eaten it?
No. Just smelled it.
I haven't tasted it. I'm too scared.
No, don't try it. It's a delicacy.
You need all the right side dishes with it.
I think It's good.
Well, guys. The consensus is clear:
Surstromming, or pickled herring, is the
nastiest food in Sweden.
But, you've got to cook it right.
So we're meeting up with Simon, from Woodstockholm.
one of the best restaurants in the city,
and he's going to show us how to prepare Surstromming.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Simon
He's going to be helping us prepare
all the necessary stuff to make this actually
taste good. Right? Maybe?
I'm going to try to make it something you
could imagine eating, anyway.
Things like these, one must fortify oneself
with alcohol.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Haha, ha. Yes. Oh no!
Three- two.
OMG. It's like......oh.......oh!
It just like squirted. Arghhhh!!!!
Go for it. I'm trying to , man.
When was the last time you opened a can
with one of these can openers?
Oh, god. It smells so bad.
Oh...whow.
It's thick... it's so pungent.
You can actually feel it in the air. It's tangible.
This might be the best game of rock, paper, scissors
I have ever won in my life.
The smell is just horrible.
One, two, three.
No.
The sour cream and the chives...
Oh no. It's so strong.
It really is really strong.
OMG. It's like petroleum, Mark.
It's so gnarly.
It's kind of like licking a gasoline can.
I had a little bit on my lip, and I just got the full...
Everything in my body is telling me "no" right now.
But Simon has prepared the thing well.
You can't mask the flavor, dude.
It's disgusting. I'm sorry.
No! Want mine? It's all yours, Bro.
It's kind of like Vegemite.
Eww!!! and it's stuck in my teeth.
This is just so uncomfortable, Bro.
Don't you like it?
No. "Nej" is no in Swedish?
Neeeeejjj!!!
Eat a piece raw, Bro.
Alex, put it down. Put it down.
It's certainly not for everyone.
It's an acquired taste. It's disgusting.
The sour cream and the spring onions
really give it a nice taste.
You are being far too kind to this, Bro.
There is a reason that every single person
we've asked on the street says "no" to this.
It smells horrible.
Everything in your body is saying "no."
It's disgusting.
And I would recommend this to no one.
Plus, it's all over my hands;
it's all over my clothes.
We're in fricking rain ponchos.
Here.
I haven't eaten all day.
Eat it. I'm done, Bro. I'm done here.
My conclusion would be that it smells horrible;
it's definitely a very strong fishy taste;
but if prepared well, it's actually pretty good.
Hopefully you enjoyed watching that video.
I definitely did not enjoy eating that,
but if you liked it, give it a thumb-s up,
share it with your friends and put in the
comment section what you want us to try next.
Thanks again for watching.
We're the Vagabrothers,
and we'll see you guys on the road. Peace.
