[Sca-cooks] Rape Seed Oil, Canola Oil, and the Early Norse

[Stefan li Rous]

<<< Since the demo, I've wondered what sort of cooking oil would actually be
available to the Viking-era Norse. We know that a small amount of luxury
olive oil was imported but aside from lard - what would have been most
commonly used? I doubt it was what we used last weekend.
