Looking at the subject of my daily blog posts on Facebook, it is easy to forget that my blog was supposed to be a travel blog, and the history was only a background. But life turned out differently 😉 It does not change the fact that travelling is still a very important part of my life (temporarily, thanks to my triplets, I only travel on the map), and food is an important part of these travels. In each country, you can find local culinary gems. In Sweden, such a “gem” is Surströmming, fermented herring. The third Thursday of August is traditionally the Day of Fermented Herring (Swedish: Surströmmingspremiären), when the season starts, which lasts roughly till the first half of September. I tried this herring as well.
