I know I was playing with some Scandinavian stuff
last year...  and I found it on-line... yes, got it.

"The socalled Harpestreng cookbook (13th century)"

That wonderful Gloaning page again.

I was discussing it on the GodeCookery list last
autumn, and a friendly Norwegian managed to
translate bits of it for me. I could probably find the
results if you  like, with a bit of hunting. Lots of
methods of preserving things, and some chicken
kebabs.
