1, canned Swedish herring
Canned herring is a traditional food in Sweden. It is a kind of canned food with foul smell and sour taste, which is made by filling the processed herring into cans and letting it ferment naturally. The biggest feature of fermented herring is its ubiquitous and persistent stench. People who have never eaten pickled herring often cover their noses because of its pungent odor. It is reported that the Swedish government also stipulates that canned herring is not allowed to be opened in residential areas. International flights are also not allowed to carry this kind of canned food, because the change of air pressure may lead to the rupture of canned food, with serious consequences. Its odor is equivalent to 300 times that of natto.
2. Italian maggot cheese
CasuMarzu is a kind of cheese that is deliberately put to feed maggots. After a high degree of decomposition, this kind of stink bomb drilled by fly maggots and constantly seeping water is made. This cheese is soft and creamy. Casu Marzu means "rotten cheese", or it can be directly called "maggot cheese". It is very popular in Sardinia, Italy. First, a large piece of local goat cheese is selected, and then it is placed beyond the normal degree of spoilage. Then pour the larvae of the cheese fly, and the acid secreted by the eggs will reduce the fat content of the cheese, and finally make it soft and almost liquid. When it is edible, a good piece of maggot cheese will contain hundreds of larvae. The most terrible thing is that if you don't like maggots when eating cheese, the method is also very simple. Beat the cheese and the disturbed maggots will jump out of 15 cm. At this time, just cover the cheese with your hands to prevent them from going back.
