Rotting fish a delicacy? STINKFEST!

Hello Tastefuls!

SO, our next event is teamed-up with and the brainchild of Jamie Drummond of Good Food Revolution who told me last year of Surstromming - basically rotting fish in a can he'd brought back for me from Sweden...it still rests within my cupboard, swelling from the off-gassing of the fish during decay.  Apparently transport of the product is not allowed on almost all aircraft as the contents are under pressure and if the can ruptures you can imagine the chaos of an enclosed and recirculated atmosphere the plane becomes!

We decided to unleash it on some industry foodies here in Toronto, so, IF you are industry and IF you dare, join us Thursday August 15th as Good Food Revolution and cafeTaste: EVENTS host Toronto's inaugural StinkFest from 4 PM until 8 PM on the patio of Midfield Wine Bar (the patio because seriously, the stench is downright clingy) at Dundas and Gladstone.

Due to the limited amount of Surstromming this is strictly an invite only industry event.  There will be a small donation at the door with all monies going to The Stop Community Food Centre.

If you're interested in attending please email us at torontostinkfest@gmail.com.

BTW, check the video Jamie posted here on  Good Food Revolution to see the cultured way of eating the rotten things, BUT, go here for the grisly side of being initiated to Surstromming (go straight to the 11 minutes mark to see Surstromming can being opened - WARNING: NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART)
