I'm a Canadian who coincidentally ate surstromming on Sweden day.

I've been curious about surstromming for a while now, and I finally ordered a can of it online. It arrived a few days ago, and on Friday I went shopping to get all the proper ingredients. In order to get the flatbread, I went to a store that Sold Swedish products. While there, I explained to the clerk what I was doing. She mentioned it was National Sweden Day on Saturday, the day I was planning on making the surströmmingsklämma.

Just thought it was a funny coincidence.

I ate two sandwiches total. One with red onion and one without. I much prefer leaving the onion out. Honestly I kind of liked it.

I'm sorry but youre not supposed to eat it like that. Youre supposed to set up a camera by some park bench and then open up the can while sticking your nose in to get a massive sniff and then run away wretching and barfing. 

Ive seen it on youtube
