Foodie needed three showers after eating the…
He smelt horrible.
A Louisiana man had to bathe three instances to rid himself of the stench of the world’s smelliest food, as detailed in a viral Instagram clip with over 9 million views.
“That is by far the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tried in my life,” James Ellingsworth told Jam Press of the feat of funky eating.
The intrepid gastronaut often movies himself sampling off the overwhelmed palate meals like uncooked meat and Costco salmon sushi and sharing the clips for his over 55,000 followers on Instagram.
For his latest gag-inducing style take a look at, the adventurous epicure determined to take a chew of Surstrômming, a conventional Swedish delicacy made from fermented Baltic herring.

Many foodies have positioned it on the Mount Rushmore of malodorous eats alongside pungent tofu in China, and hakarl, an Icelandic delicacy comprised of the fermented flesh of a Greenland shark.
The content creator said he was impressed after seeing a “number of videos of people trying it and struggling to get the can open, let alone eat it, because of how horrible they said it smelled.”

In the wild clip, Ellingsworth opens the can and immediately begins gagging as the aroma hits his nostrils.
“It smelled like if you poured liquid ass on a dead raccoon,” the roofing gross sales company supervisor recalled to Jam.
Unfortunately, the zombified fish “tasted exactly how it smelled,” per the connoisseur. Despite making an attempt to sofa the fishy dish in a buttered brioche bun like a bizarro lobster roll, he still ended up heaving it up upon the first chew and dry heaving profusely.

He then steps away to get a breath of recent air.
“I respect all cultures, but f–k that, y’all can keep it,” said Ellingsworth, who claimed he “had to shower – lather, rinse, repeat twice – then brush my teeth about three times.”

“The smell was so bad that I had to wash my utensils with bleach, vinegar, and salt numerous times,” he added. “I had to leave them in that combination for multiple days before it came out.”
The Southerner said the fish was so odiferous that he suspects that the can arrived rotten, particularly as it was bulging before it was opened, indicating rising gases.
Viewers have been appalled by the pungent stunt, with one writing, “flies and dry heaving? I’ll pass.”
Another added, “I’m holding my breath just watching this … Also, all the flies should be an indication. This is not meant for human consumption.”
Others agreed that one thing was undoubtedly fishy about the dish.
“Bro, as a professional of [the] canning food industry I think this can is bad and unsuitable for human consumption, it shouldn’t have this amount of gas inside,” said one skeptic.
“They’re supposed to be filets, not a soupy mess of flesh and bone,” wrote another. “Your can was way expired, you can tell because of how bloated the can was from the gases caused by decomposition of the meat. You just ate rotten fis,h bro.”
Despite the retch-ed eating expertise, Ellingsworth said he’d be down with sampling Surstrômming again.
