Fermented Baltic herring. Purported by some (but by no means all) Swedes to be a highly-prized delicacy. Asserted by everyone else to be rottenfish in a can.
My bro is in hospital after he tried to eat that can of surstromming. I hope he makes it!
A term commonly used in the South to denote a small, unexpected gift. Pronounced "sir see."
A sursy is the kind of small, inexpensive gift one would give to close friends or family for no special occasion, particularly to show affection or thanks.
A nearly rotten fishy/fish type delicacy that has fermented for at least six months and is usually packaged or sealed in a can and is often described as the smelliest food in the wholeworld.
Do NOT even smell Surstromming if you can't handle vomiting or at least gagging.
