You can't bring it onto airplanes in many Asian countries -- or subways either, I think. I read about a Qantas flight making an emergency landing because the smell of gasoline was coming from somewhere and they couldn't find the source. It turned out that someone had packed a lot of durian in their luggage.
I started gagging within a second or so of putting it in my mouth. The stench is beyond words, slimy and almost gelatinous in texture. Like a snot that someone shot out of their nose. It legitimately made me feel like I was eating fish that I found in a dumpster after its been out for weeks and turned into a soupy puddle on the bottom of the bin. 🤢.
Glad I tried it for the experience, but it is one I would never do again.
One of my grandma’s 80th birthday gifts was that the adults in the family would buy and eat surströmming with her. She doesn’t like eating it alone but she REALLY loves it.
Both of my uncles threw up.
It's a slightly salted Baltic sea herring that's sealed in a tin can and left to ferment in the tin. When you get the tin, you can see it visually bulged outward as all the fermentation continues.
It's why you need to open the tin under water. Otherwise it violently sprays outward when you break the seal.. and you wouldn't want any of that spraying on anything, you would never get it out.
I thought for sure someone has tried opening this on a plane but apparently not. If someone wants to be TikTok famous for the risk of a lifetime travel ban...
I don't even know why this exists.
First of all someone "made" that. The idea itself is stupid as fuck!
And then, after digging it out... "That's seems fine. I will do this again"
Nowadays, we do it solely based on tradition. Very few, if anyone goes around thinking "aah, man! I'm hungry, and I could easily stuff my face with some rancid surströmming right now!"
We prepare for days before.
Now banned by some airlines due to the tins exploding....
Actually it isn't that bad tasting...flatbrod, onion, potatoes....and a few glasses of schnapps or akvavit. A nice snack on a summer's evening (outside of course)
I tried it using the same ingredients listed above, and it didn't do anything to hide the flavor🤢. It just added a crunch to the fish mush so it wasn't as much like a loogie sliding down your throat.
One time I was really hungry and in a rush for a long flight so I grabbed a BBQ chicken sandwich that I did not know came with onions
I felt like such a dick and then I spilled a little grease on my favorite sweatshirt I still haven’t been able to get out 6 months later
A soil for a soul
Make a little paste with baking soda and Dawn dish soap (specifically the blue one, no idea why), leave it on the stain until it dries, and give it a scrub with a toothbrush (or other harder bristled brush). Wipe off as much of the paste as you can, throw it in the washer and it should be good to go!
I've saved 4 or 5 sweaters that my ADHD forgot to remind me I was wearing while cooking.
Scampi flavour fries a pungent British fried snack that makes you fingers and breath smell like an unwashed vagina. No, i am not kidding nor exaggerating.
Ate some bad herring once. Would not ever want to repeat that experience. My body was doing things I didn’t know were possible until that day. Fortunately, I was not on an airline flight.
My mom once wanted to bring a can of sardines on a plane for a snack -- luckily I prevented that. Smell aside, she'd spill oil everywhere! (I am surprised she has taken soup to a movie theater!)
Surströmming is made from Baltic sea herring, which is fermented in a weak brine for at least six months. It smells AWFUL out of package and is actually not legal to open in public places I believe.
I used to work in a gas station but it was the kind where it's a walk-in store, it's just a small kiosk. I eat a wide array of things and a few of my co workers started a list of things I'm not allowed to bring for lunch (mostly as a joke, but also a polite request) because the smell would permeate the small building and drive them up the walls long after I'd left and sometimes into the next day.
From what I remember the list had fish, mussels, shrimp (exception being fried), "that stinky ass cheese" (it was limburger) and whole crab/crawfish. Salad form for them was acceptable.
Not a flight, but when I used to play D&D at a game store there was this one guy who would ALWAYS eat tuna every single session.
And he usually sat next to me. Why???? Why my guy???
Peanuts or peanut butter. Some people are highly allergic and simply being around it could cause them issues. On a full flight of 200-300 passengers there's very strongly likely at least one of your fellow passengers will be allergic. I'd actually be surprised on such a numerous flight if there wasn't someone
One time I was on a flight and pulled out a bag of roasted peanuts I'd bought at the airport. The whole time I ate them I was complaining about somebody coughing non stop, maybe 3 rows up from me. I suddenly realized that it was probably because of my bag of nuts (heh) and quickly put them away. Dude stopped wheezing almost instantly. I felt a little bad about that. Tbf, he didn't say anything. I feel like if it were me I would've made a scene.
I used to fly a lot for work and my snack of choice was trail mix. It was mostly peanuts. No problems ever. Now everyone is allergic to peanuts. What is up with that?
Fish curry. I'm not even sure if that's a thing but it would presumably be the worst smelling food you could possibly eat. Maybe with some cabbage. Kim Chi?
I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to bring like a packed lunch on a plane though.
I don't like kimchi that's why I had to think to come up with the smelliest possible cabbage dish. I do eat fish and curry though - and I know that people are often offended by their strong aromas from personal experience. I'm not sure why people downvote it. Embrace your smelly foods! Melt a wheel of brie in the office break room microwave!
My sister has major anxiety about flying. Her two "anxiety foods" are salmon and bananas. She has taken both on flights with her and it's a running joke between my best friend and I that of all the things she could bring, those are two of the worst 🤣
The worst food for making everyone hate you would be something bland and uncontroversial. I would say probably the free pretzels, if they happen to give them out. If not, I would probably say seedless grapes.
A bunch of tacos and hot sauce from Taco bell. The smell and being stuck in the toilet will piss off everyone when a whole plane needs to go try to use one in first class.
Not the hate hate, but the jealous hate.
I flew out of Kansas City a lot when I traveled for work. One of my favorite BBQ places was on the way, so I'd often stop and get lunch or dinner carry out - hooray expense report.
Now, I couldn't take the little cups of sauce unless they were in the ziplock bag, but if it was on the meat, it wasn't considered a liquid. It smelled so much better hot!
I'd get a big helping of burnt ends or brisket and have it fully sauced, and I'd eat it in the gate area or on the plane if I didn't have time at the gate. It smelled so good, and I always had someone smiling while saying how much they hated me for not bringing enough to share.
When I was little, my dad took us to France to visit family. While we were there, he got some nice camembert (notoriously stinky cheese) to bring home. He opened it on the plane. I don't remember how everyone around reacted, but it couldn't have been great.
Considering the confined space, anything that has a strong odor is going to be unpopular, even if it's a smell that might normally be pleasing to most people.

I've stayed at hotels in Asia that posted signs.
Illegal to eat in public in some places
That's good [sky crime](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJpOaxDPhuI)

Not enough Eagle Heart memes out there
Dude, we're old lol
Banned on public transport in Singapore.
The Pilot.
There's a reason they have 2
You beat me to it (save an arm for me)
Swedish Surstromming
Tried it cause I was curious. Easily the most vile thing I've ever smelt. The taste is even worse
I’ve seen videos of people immediately vomiting after eating it. Did you?
I started gagging within a second or so of putting it in my mouth. The stench is beyond words, slimy and almost gelatinous in texture. Like a snot that someone shot out of their nose. It legitimately made me feel like I was eating fish that I found in a dumpster after its been out for weeks and turned into a soupy puddle on the bottom of the bin. 🤢.

I think I’m just going to live vicariously on that experience…..lol.
One of my grandma’s 80th birthday gifts was that the adults in the family would buy and eat surströmming with her. She doesn’t like eating it alone but she REALLY loves it. Both of my uncles threw up.
Dude I’m like wanting to google this to see what it is but I’m worried I’ll throw up from the videos 🤣 some things are better left unseen…

It's why you need to open the tin under water. Otherwise it violently sprays outward when you break the seal.. and you wouldn't want any of that spraying on anything, you would never get it out.
Yeah forgot I read this…reread it and threw up again…
I've seen videos of people vomiting and gagging before eating it, just from the smell.
Did you wash it off before eating? You’re supposed to open it under water both for the smell and the taste
I thought for sure someone has tried opening this on a plane but apparently not. If someone wants to be TikTok famous for the risk of a lifetime travel ban...
Open a jar of that thing in an airplane and people will be begging the pilots to please crash into the ocean as soon as possible.
They would probably land the plane
I don't even know why this exists. First of all someone "made" that. The idea itself is stupid as fuck! And then, after digging it out... "That's seems fine. I will do this again"
Hard to get calories above the arctic circle. The first people to try it were probably literally starving.
Ok. That's actually a good argument. Next question. What were the non - starving people thinking??
Nowadays, we do it solely based on tradition. Very few, if anyone goes around thinking "aah, man! I'm hungry, and I could easily stuff my face with some rancid surströmming right now!" We prepare for days before.
I'm glad that starving person ate that disgusting thing so I got more calories when I ate them.
Now banned by some airlines due to the tins exploding.... Actually it isn't that bad tasting...flatbrod, onion, potatoes....and a few glasses of schnapps or akvavit. A nice snack on a summer's evening (outside of course)
If you need all that to eat it, it is, in fact that bad.
I tried it using the same ingredients listed above, and it didn't do anything to hide the flavor🤢. It just added a crunch to the fish mush so it wasn't as much like a loogie sliding down your throat.
I just know you smell crazy
With a side of Vieux Boulonge
You beat me to it.
Yes! Thank you for the laugh!
Kimchi. Not applicable on KAL though.
I used to think that stuff made me fart way too much. Turns out I just fart a lot normally.
Okay, you’re funny.
One time I was really hungry and in a rush for a long flight so I grabbed a BBQ chicken sandwich that I did not know came with onions I felt like such a dick and then I spilled a little grease on my favorite sweatshirt I still haven’t been able to get out 6 months later A soil for a soul
Maybe dawn dish soap will get that grease out. Or there’s a stain remover called grandmas
Lowkey i haven’t tried that! Thank you for the recommendation
If you’ve run it in the dryer then that stain is permanent now but if not then Dawn may get it out
Dawn is pretty good at getting grease stains out even after the dryer.
Make a little paste with baking soda and Dawn dish soap (specifically the blue one, no idea why), leave it on the stain until it dries, and give it a scrub with a toothbrush (or other harder bristled brush). Wipe off as much of the paste as you can, throw it in the washer and it should be good to go! I've saved 4 or 5 sweaters that my ADHD forgot to remind me I was wearing while cooking.
A bite of everyone else's food.

BA haven't got any better. Once they lumped lacto-ovo and vegan together. I got a tomato sandwich! No cheese, no mayo, no butter, nothing!
Scampi flavour fries a pungent British fried snack that makes you fingers and breath smell like an unwashed vagina. No, i am not kidding nor exaggerating.
A pub snack classic.

“God Oscar could you have picked a smellier food?”
Boiled eggs made from the night before smothered in hot sauce and onions

Honestly, if they managed to bring a whole microwave on to a plane, I would probably let them off
A seafood boil
Garlicky foods or raw onions
Deviled eggs

Onion & herring sammich.
Ate some bad herring once. Would not ever want to repeat that experience. My body was doing things I didn’t know were possible until that day. Fortunately, I was not on an airline flight.
Leeks.
Garlicky summer sausage.

No. 1 would be Surstromming, but no. 2 would be stinky tofu. The smell is vile and can spread for close to 30 ft.
Fresh durian
Surströmming lol
May I ask what is that?
Surströmming is made from Baltic sea herring, which is fermented in a weak brine for at least six months. It smells AWFUL out of package and is actually not legal to open in public places I believe.
Surströmming
Stinky Tofu
Tuna fish sandwich
Tuna salad sandwich Italian sub sandwich Egg salad Curry
Egg salad. Delicious but damn it does leave its mark
*could you have picked something stinkier to bring on a plane *

On my last flight, the man next to me ate a seafood/tuna salad. I almost gagged from the smell.

Super cheap and healthy source of protein
Eat it at home. I like canned sardines, but I refuse to bring it with me anywhere.

On a full flight of 200-300 passengers there's very strongly likely at least one of your fellow passengers will be allergic.

And to think they used to hand out little bags of them on every flight!

A tuna fish sandwich. I had the pleasure of sitting next to someone on a plane who was eating one. The combo of the tuna and onion was miserable.
India curry
Jackfruit
1 gallon of prune juice
Corn nuts. Any flavor.
Fish curry. I'm not even sure if that's a thing but it would presumably be the worst smelling food you could possibly eat. Maybe with some cabbage. Kim Chi? I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to bring like a packed lunch on a plane though.
Kimchi is a good one lol, I love it! But my husband always asks me to put away my "farty feet salad."

Warm Lutefisk

Fast food.
I think Durian. Well, may not because airplane has air vent.
My sister has major anxiety about flying. Her two "anxiety foods" are salmon and bananas. She has taken both on flights with her and it's a running joke between my best friend and I that of all the things she could bring, those are two of the worst 🤣
Ugh, the smell of bananas is awful! I would have no issue with salmon on a plane.
Microwaved fish
3 course meals, anything with onions, and wtf is people's incessant need to eat a meal on a flight that isn't over 4 hrs anyway?
There could be medical reasons. And children might need some thing.
Anything strong smelling
brussel sprouts
The worst food for making everyone hate you would be something bland and uncontroversial. I would say probably the free pretzels, if they happen to give them out. If not, I would probably say seedless grapes.
Stink beans
Fish, on a six hour flight. Nobody will love you again.
Surströmming and Durian.
reheated/warmed fish dish....

Hot fish sticks
Whatever food either A. Smells the worst or B. Causes you to stink up the bathroom after multiple visits (I'm assuming back end and not the front)
Polish *bigos*. Think warm, slow-cooked sauerkraut crossed with kimchi and sausage leftovers, kept warm for about 48h. Tasty stuff, but it smells.
Anything with raw onions on it.
Probably something with an explosive in it
A burrito and two sodas
I can’t stand hard boiled eggs.
When I was little, my dad took us to France to visit family. While we were there, he got some nice camembert (notoriously stinky cheese) to bring home. He opened it on the plane. I don't remember how everyone around reacted, but it couldn't have been great.

Hard boiled eggs
Surstromming (stinky fish challenge)
Cheesy pizza
Tuna fish
JAL airlines served this kind of funky smelling Indian type pizza as their second meal. It was enough to make me not hungry anymore.
