Swedish fermented herring tastes so bad even dogs won't eat it

in #sweden8 years ago (edited)

A video shared this week shows how a dog reacted when offered fermented herring for the first time.

Malin Jonsson from Umeå in northern Sweden filmed her French bulldog, six-year-old Ella, begging for food at the table during a surströmming party.

"Eating surströmming is an important tradition in my northern family this time of the year. I have an older bulldog, Ernst, who is an avid surströmming lover and shares the delicacies with us every year. When Ella had been begging loudly at the table for a while she got the chance to taste it. We know how strong the craving can be," she told @thelocalsweden after the Västerbottens-kuriren newspaper first shared the clip.

But after only sniffing a piece of the fermented fish offered to her, the pet seemed to speak for many other people when she reacted as seen in the video uploaded to Facebook.
