Airlines ban 'foul' Swedish fish
By Lars Bevanger
BBC News
Sweden's national dish is an acquired taste, to say the least.
Some say surstromming, a fermented herring, smells like rubbish left out in the sun for days.
But now the fish has been banned from several major airlines, classified along with dangerous weapons like shoe bombs and firearms.
The Baltic herring is fermented in barrels for months before being put in tin cans, where the fermentation process continues.
The decision has made many Swedes very angry indeed.
Surstromming is as Swedish as Saab,Volvo and Ikea.
Some say it is simply rotten fish, which smells like rotten fish. Others argue it is the finest of delicacies.
But now major airlines like British Airways and Air France argue the cans are pressurised goods, and must be classified as potentially explosive.
The dish is no longer allowed on their flights, and the sale of the delicacy from Stockholm's international airport has been stopped.
