When I read horrifying things about other countries' cuisines I usually just shrug and say 'cultural differences'. Eggs boiled in piss? 'Cultural differences'. Duck embryos on toast? 'Cultural differences'. Cheese swarming with maggots? 'Cultural differences'.
But this... if a Swede popped up in front of me right now and said "yeah, I like to inject hot ham water directly into my eyeballs", I think I'd have a better shot at understanding and accepting.
