Oh! I had forgotten about the Icelandic items. Most of the recipes for 
these that Nanna has posted here can be found in this file in the 
FOOD-BY-REGION section of the Florilegium.
fd-Iceland-msg    (84K)  1/15/03    Food of medieval Iceland. Recipes.

I'm not sure that most of these fermented foods fit into most people's 
definition of pickled foods, even those who realize that pickles do not 
necessarily mean just pickled cucumbers. If I move some of the recipes 
from the Icelandic file to another, what would be a good name? Should I 
even try to seperate out these fermented, pickled foods from simply the 
pickled ones?

I think the sauerkraut stuff is still in this file:
fd-Germany-msg   (106K)  6/ 1/01    Medieval and Period German food. 
Cookbooks.

I don't know how many of these are fermented vs. just pickled, but you 
might also look at these files in the FOOD section:
compost-msg       (35K)  3/27/01    A pickled food of fruits and 
vegetables.
Lrds-Salt-Exp-art (15K)  9/11/00    "Lord's Salt Experiment" by Lady 
Hauviette
                                        d'Anjou.
pickled-food-msg (116K)  5/ 7/02    Medieval pickled food. recipes.

In the FOOD-MEATS section:
pickled-meats-msg (58K) 10/11/01    Period pickled meats. Lord's Salt. 
recipes.

Thank you for the pointers to the Florilegium, Lainie.
