The emergence of canned herring proves that even the Chinese people who claim to be the best eaters, the most capable, and the most daring eaters are daunted by hope.

Not to mention being unable to swallow, even in front of canned herrings, he could not survive for three seconds, but the smell was enough to make people run away in a panic, or to make them vomit directly. The smell was comparable to biological and chemical weapons, and he was listed by many countries as a result.

As contraband, it is forbidden to bring it on board the plane. Having said all that, how smelly is the canned herring?

First, Japan once selected the top ten smelliest foods in the world based on data, among which canned herring topped the list.

At present, the international unit for evaluating the intensity of odor is Alabaster, which is referred to as AUAU. The higher the value, the stronger the odor.

According to measurements, the odor value of my country's stinky tofu is only 420AU, which is at the bottom of the list.

Inuit's smoked puffin, New Zealand's canned stinky cheese and South Korea's pickled fish fillets ranked fourth, third and second respectively.

However, the odor value of the Swedish canned herring at the top of the list reached an astonishing 8070A, but the pickled fish fillet ranked second was still far behind.

Many people have challenged this delicacy because they questioned the results, but many challengers abstained from vomiting when they opened it.

It can be seen that canned herring has indeed climbed to the top of the list due to its strength. Many people compare the smell of canned herring to a combination of rotten eggs, septic tanks, rotten fish and feces. Not to mention eating it, even smelling it

The smell is enough to suffocate, so it’s no wonder that many people wear gas masks when opening canned herring.

Second, this kind of food that is so disgusted in China is a delicacy that is highly sought after by everyone in Sweden. The locals eat 800 tons of it every year, which makes the Chinese people worship their hometown.

So why are Swedes so obsessed with him?

In fact, this is mainly related to the local geographical environment.

Sweden is located in a culvert with a long coastline and a large number of flying fish. For local fishermen, fatty flying fish is undoubtedly the best food for overwintering.

However, because this kind of fish is not easy to preserve, they found a new way and spontaneously developed the pickling process of herring.

They soak the caught herring in salt water, boil it in warm water and put it in a container to ferment for several months, making the herring thick and juicy.

Over time, canned herring has become a traditional food with a long history in Sweden. Later, after countless improvements, the current canned herring has emerged.

Third, although the local production of canned herring reaches hundreds of tons, relatively few are exported, and most of them are self-sold. Many people say it is because it is too unpalatable. Is this really the case?

Although canned herring smells bad, it's not unpalatable.

Swedes say that a big reason why people are jealous is because they don’t know how to eat.

In fact, the correct way to use it is to open it in clean water. Firstly, it is to prevent the juice leaves from splashing and affecting the air quality. Secondly, it is to clean the excess seasoning and juice on the herring to weaken its pungent smell.

Then add the cleaned flying fish and vegetables to the bread and eat it.

Of course, you can also mix it according to your preference. In this way, canned herring will not have such terrible power when eaten after processing.
