Back in my day in my country where the fashy values were never too far from the surface, the idea of education included the fun times of having to eat or at least taste everything on offer at school lunch.
My elementary school did pickled fucking herring, the kind where the fish is all red and slimy. And we all had to eat one fillet or throw up trying. They lined us up and watched that we all take one piece and eat it. It scarred me for life.
Some people apparently love that stuff, with new potatoes or whatever. I personally won’t be in the same room with an open jar of that nastiness.
I like having pickled herring on rye bread once in a while (and wash it down with beer and aquavit) but I can understand why people wouldn’t like it. It is a very particular taste.
Pickled fish, omg.

I love pickled herring lol, its literally just pickled fish, so idk why people hate it so much unless they don’t like fish or pickles
the tough one is lutefisk, (or surstromming)
The texture and smell is the issue for me. Love fish and love pickles, separately.:D
