Is that thing about Sweden really true? Evercat 20:36, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

There is a reported superstition from southwestern Sweden to spit three times at the herring soup pot while it is cooking, throwing the soup away if any attempt misses. Swedish tradition suggests that this will prevent the herrings from coming alive in your stomach.

I can not find this being a common practice, although I would image it was probably done somewhere. / Fred-Chess 10:05, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish source?

Does this actually exist in Sweden? Herring is traditionally often eaten, so someone must have used it in soup sometime, but what is the source on this being a real dish from sweden? What is it's swedish name? "Sillsoppa" and "strömmingsoppa" give very few results on google2A02:C7D:697D:CB00:C450:1EA8:DA58:48F7 (talk) 22:17, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
