[Sca-cooks] Source information for the make-up of removes?

[Patricia Collum]

>From the reading I did into viking food, the information in the sagas is
pretty much limited to 'we had a feast and much good food was had by all'.
Some good on-line sources for info about viking food are
http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/vikfood.html ,
http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/food.htm ,
http://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/daily_living/text/food_and_diet.htm
, http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/vikings/food_01.shtml .
For the same period Anglo-Saxon try  http://www.regia.org/feasting.htm .
