And, to confuse matters even more, has anyone seen the Discovery Channel 
special about the  "Forgotten Mummies of Asia" or whatever it was called?  
Perfectly preserved Viking mummies on the Mongol Steppes, or some such...  
Pretty cool, but kind of throws a wrench into the works, I would imagine.  
Does this mean Stir Fry is a period Viking dish?
