quote:STOCKHOLM - Something smells rotten in Sweden. The world's
first museum dedicated to fermented herring will open in
Northern Sweden next year. Experts will be on hand to explain
the ancient technique of preserving herring by adding a small
amount of salt then letting the fish ferment. For those that
don't appreciate the pungent aroma of the sour herring, which
was reported to resemble the smell of "dog excrement", the
museum will be located on a finger of land outside
Ornskoldsvik in the Gulf between Sweden and Finland.
