True Viking food – Lamb with barely and ale


This is a blog who travels in places and time. This time we travelling back in time to the Vikings.

As the Vikings didn’t have potatoes, they ate grains with there meat and fish. A long with beets and carrots. To drink it was mostly with mead or ale.

Dining Viking style

I found this very interesting. As we went to Viking Resturant Aifur in old town of Stockholm couple of years ago, I have read up a lot about what they ate. If you ever visit Stockholm, you have to visite the Viking museum and Vasa museum before you ending your day dining Viking style at Aifur..

Cook in low heat for about 2 hours until the barley and the lamb is tender. The meat should fall of the bone.
