About the surstromming, none of the stores I had hoped will bring any in.
I got in touch with a friend in Sweden who is actualy willing to ship some
to me, however he said all he can get at his local market is 3 kilogram
cans, 6.6 pounds. Thats a whole lot of surstromming, and the estimated
cost to ship it here is around $55 USD.

Unless anyone else knows a North American source, we need to go to Sweden
:-)
