Serves me right for not checking the datel...Arrgh! Serves me right for not checking the dateline! You're probably right that it is a hoax--something nagged at me about that unicorn head illustration, but I didn't pay attention to it.<br /><br />On a different subject, there are several blogs with good information about the Scandinavian cuisine of the Viking age (though they don't update very often). Two of them are listed in my sidebar:<br /><br />Viking Food Guy: http://vikingfoodguy.com/wordpress/<br />Eldrimner: http://eldrimner.wordpress.com/<br /><br />Eldrimner is written by Daniel Serra, a Ph.D student in archaeology who recently authored "An Early Meal", which is a book about Viking era food from various areas in Scandinavia, with putative recipes. It retails for $45 and can be bought from its publisher, Chronocopia Publishing, or from Amazon, among other places. You can see a preview on the Chronocopia website, here: http://chronocopiapublishing.com/index.php/books/early-meal-viking-age-cookbook-and-culinary-odyssey/<br /><br />I have reviewed a few other books about Viking era Scandinavian cuisine on this blog. You can judge from those essays whether you are interested in tracking down those books or not:<br />http://cathyshistoricfood.blogspot.com/2012/04/culinary-journey-through-time.html<br />http://cathyshistoricfood.blogspot.com/2012/05/viking-and-slavic-cuisine-recipes.html<br /><br />Finally, there is a Facebook group called Authentic Viking Food (and a related group to discuss recipes only) of which Daniel Serra is a member. If you're on Facebook, you should check it out. Good luck!<br /><br /><br />Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032365360611242433.post-16505025533129869602014-01-06T15:03:44.050-05:002014-01-06T15:03:44.050-05:00Is the book real, then? I thought the whole blog p...Is the book real, then? I thought the whole blog post was a very well-done joke since it was posted on 1st April. If the manuscript is real then I would love to see it. BTW, can you give me your advice on Nordic (Viking) food since I am into Scandinavian studies, the Viking era in particular.
