In Northern Sweden around Pitea & Lulea, there is a traditional dish of fermented Herrings.
Take a catch of Herrings, put a little salt on them but not enough to preserve them. Allow to ferrment in own juices for a few months. Eat with Bread topped with potatoes, onions and the fish. Best eaten (and smelled) after downing several nips of vodka, at least 3 - 5.
Enjoy 😀 😀

ps: Experienced this once I need about 10 vodka's to do it again 😉

In fact, on april fool's day kids enjoy opening a few cans of this fermented herring in the school's corridors, whereupon the whole building has to be evacuated due to the incredible stench.
I'm sad to say I have a neighbour who comes from the northern part of Sweden and thus somehow have programmed in her genes that she should consume this thing from time to time without warning. Every time it happens, I or my wife have to check which of our children need to change diapers before we realize that we're looking for a too simple solution to the problem.
It's amazing that some people actually like to eat this, or so they claim anyway. I could be, as you hint at, an excuse for consuming so much alcohol that your senses fail.
I have eaten a spider before. It was actually very good.
As my parents recall I used to eat dog food. I have grown out of that now.
I have also eaten a buffalo which was not tastey at all, well the one I had.
As I remember from one sermon by my old preacher he was in Africa as a missionary. He went into his hosts house and they brought out "coffee." The coffee was a mixture of yougurt (it used to be milk) and cow pee that was around 6 months old. Since this was a delicacy there he had to drink it as a sign of respect. I doubt if I will ever go to Africa now.

Anyone had bombay duck at their local curry house?
And, no, it isn't a duck dish. Try it just the once (or better, ask for a sample).
I would love to know who pays money for that stuff!
