      To each their own. I thought it was going to be like surströmming, which I liked. I’ve also eaten durian with no issue. Stinky tofu was not my thing.

        The name stinky tofu doesn’t help either eh?

        And, I’m not sure if I could stomach surströmming, but I’d love to try one day!

          The trick is to have someone prepare it who knows what they’re doing. Guy who made it for us opened it outside in a bowl of water to catch all the gas coming out. He rinsed it and then put it on potatoes with sour cream and chives. It was good, but we still ate it outside.

          I always cringed watching videos of people open a can in a hot car in Texas during the summer to “see how bad it smells”
