[quote]Don't try this Swedish dish at home.
Surströmming!
When opened, the contents release a strong characteristic ammonia-like odor; the dish is ordinarily eaten outdoors. According to a Japanese study, a newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even more so than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean Hongeohoe or Japanese Kusaya.
In April 2006, several major airlines (such as Air France and British Airways) banned the fish, citing that the pressurised cans of fish are potentially explosive.
Combine with Limburger cheese.

And a gas mask maybe. ;)

A gas mask is a very good protection:)
That means that you cant smell it.
And you cant eat surströmming when you have the gasmask on.
Win-win situation.

There is also in South East Asia a fruit called Durian.
Very much the same.
But thats another story...

~One thing Mr. Bizarre Foods, Andrew Zimmern, won't eat. That and stinky tofu.

stinky tofu.

Then its off.
Normaly tofu doesnt smell and it tastes nothing. Lots of protein though.
Like mozzarella.

I had this for dinner last day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding
Black pudding is a type of blood sausage commonly eaten in Britain and Ireland.
And Scandinavia!

It tastes really good when it is hot. Also very healthy. Lots of iron.
Doesnt look good but with lingonberry and some fried bacon it is delicious.

I have not eaten it since 1978. I remember it well.
It was when I was conscript in the army and of course the delivery was delayed and the blood pudding went cold.
The weather was also cold and we had to sleep in a tent outdoors. Brrrrr

This particular variety of tofu is supposed to be "off". That's the appeal to those who enjoy it.

I love cheese, but never tried limburger, based solely on reputation. I'm mainly an extra sharp cheddar guy, though melted Swiss on a hot Reuben is mighty fine. :~)

I like My cheddar mild, I've tried the sharp stuff, but My mother said it was best used for cooking and She taught Me how to cook, but then She was very good at it, too bad She didn't pursue an education in cooking and then a career, but that's life.

As a kid, I didn't like Swiss, but then I discovered it was okay melted. I don't know why.

I agree with Vic about cheddar.

I also like Colby and provolone. And I definitely like mozzarella (even without a pizza under it).

Love Colby, but Provolone is boringly bland and blah for me. When I was a kid, I used to eat Swiss cheese and mustard sandwiches. ~Probably helps explain why I'm so odd, today. ;~}

That's like the "California Stop" when you're driving a car. It's
the California Stop everywhere but in California. There it's the
"Hollywood Stop."

I suppose we should call it Swiss-style cheese. But I'm okay with
calling it Swiss cheese.

It's possible to buy Emmentaler cheese in the US. I wonder if that's
also made in America.

I'm not really familiar with a California Stop, but I'm guessing it might be similar to a California Roll. ;~}

Yes:) In Wisconsin. Many Dutch and Swedish immigrants there.
We also call it Swiss cheese.
I'm eating it everyday:)

I guess you're familiar with Lutefisk? ~That's another scary item even Andrew Zimmern isn't fond of.

Of course:) But only on Christmas Eve.
It's not scary. Just tasteless.
But together with Allspice, also called Jamaica pepper and Béchamel sauce its quite nice
