This is your dry wit again, eh?

If not, I'm surprised.  A people who who go to great lengths to produce
some of the smelliest food on the planet to preserve it don't seem like
the folk to waste food for all but the most extreme reasons.

See: Surstromming

Understatement of the century from the article:

The surströmming sandwich is traditionally served with a glass of
cold milk and a snaps. As surströmming is both sour-tasting and
salty, it induces thirst. Beer has also become popular, although the
combined effects of the surströmming and the release of carbon
dioxide from the beer can be quite unpleasant for some time after the
meal.

Okay, that made me laugh.
