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 am swedish and have only smelt it. Wouldn’t touch it for a million kronor!

      Yeah. Not bad right? It’s really about how the flavours come together. Also Canadian btw. Though I’m originally from Luleå, Sweden 😉

      > Sweden day

      > National Sweden Day

      Not a big deal, but it’s called the “National Day of Sweden” (“Sveriges nationaldag” or simply “nationaldagen” in Swedish).

      Love Surströmming but even for me that is more than I’d put on the bread
