[Sca-cooks] cooking grains in beer

[Jenn Strobel]

Frisia, during that time period (800-1000) was actually a very large
area encompassing what is modernly the Netherlands and Flanders.  They
controlled most of what went on in the North Sea that wasn't being
controlled by the Vikings.

I could write an article about Frisian food, in fact, I already have
the write up that I did for the feast and could just make changes for
you if you'd like.

Let me know what you're looking for and i'll just do a write up based
on that request.
