First thing i see on the site today is the swedish (swede here wooo) word "Surströmming". Its one of those love or hate-dishes we have here. Sur = Sour, Strömming = Herring.
 
And no, i dont find this "food" any good.

When I was young and my family opened one of these cans I had to use my fathers military issue gas-mask to survive the day... wish I was joking.

Oh god, that's not food. That was never food! I can't believe anyone actually ate that! I was half expecting it to go all arc of the covenant when they cracked it open.

The only reason I listened to the Bombcast was the constant threat of Jeff dying due to the can exploding into razor sharp pieces and him getting hit in the neck by a piece.
 
Now there is no reason.

I knew they'd never allow it to explode in the new offices, now that it's not just them in there.

Drew and Matt Kessler ate it. About 12 hours is the average life expectancy after you've eaten it.
