sca-cooks Viking Period Cooking - Looking for Information about

[Judy Gerjuoy]

I don't know of any Viking period cookbooks in English.  

The closest thing I know of of scholary information about food of that
era, is a short (5 page) article in _Du Mauscript a la Table_ edited by
Carole Lambert, which discusses two versions of a *14th* century Danish
cookbook, one from circa 1300, the other from circa 1350.

The other books which might be useful are Anglo-Saxon Food and Anglo-Saxon
Food and Drink by Hagen. Note: they are *not* cookbooks, but rather a
discussion of the food/drink/preparation methods of that time/place.

While not Viking, it is probably the closest source you will find.

If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely 
challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn 
between a desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world. 
This makes it hard to plan the day. - E. B. White
