Explosive, not just to the digestion...

Sweden fire turns cans of rotten fish into exploding missiles

A fire in a warehouse on the east coast of Sweden caused cans of fermented fish to explode and go flying through the air, according to local media.

The building went up in flames with 1,000 tins of surstromming inside. The Swedish delicacy is reputedly one of the world's most foul-smelling foods.

Four people sleeping above the store room escaped unharmed.

"It smells like someone's frying fermented herring," warehouse owner Hans-Erik Englund told Radio Sweden.

"The firefighters were surprised."

I found this quote amusing for being so descriptively literal.

Why don't you stay in the sea and leave people who know what is tasty alone?

 

[Icefire1424]

Hm...food that can go all explodie is probably something that shouldn't be eaten in the first place. I mean, I enjoy seafood quite a bit, but still.

 

[OrangeJulius]

Since nobody was hurt I can comfortably laugh at the hilarity of such a disgusting situation. I bet that smell sticks with you for days, no matter how many showers you take.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I am not a picky eater and like pretty much everything but I can not wrap my head around this food. It smells and tastes foul in my opinion but to each there own I suppose. It really is an acquired taste I guess.

Salmon begs to disagree.
