canned herring is very nutritious.

canned herring (fei) is one of the most smelly foods in the world. It is listed in Sweden in summer around August every year. By mid-August, the herring in the can became sticky and juicy, and the gas in the can also expanded because of the fermentation of the herring, which made the can bulging, which means that the herring has been marinated and can be listed.

the biggest feature of pickled herring is its ubiquitous and persistent stench. People who haven't eaten pickled herring often cover their noses because of its pungent stench, and the Swedish government also stipulates that it is not allowed to open canned herring in residential areas, because the smell of herring is really hard to dissipate.

food culture

in Sweden, on the third Thursday of August every year, people hold a party specially for tasting herring, which is said to be the best time for pickled herring. On a warm and short summer night, the Swedes set tables and chairs in the garden, and then served herring on the table, feasting themselves, drinking and singing.

People often eat herring with potatoes, onions, sour cream or bland cakes, chew them carefully or swallow them in large pieces. Of course, strong wine is also an essential "throat moistening agent" for people to hold herring parties.
