@ 1:20, that's Pine Needle Tea, using small young needles and buds, or the long dark needles that you crush/break 1st. The flavor takes a bit to get used to, but it's also full of Vitamin C.
my god that pork cutlet looks so tasty its reminding me of the one i had at this medieval fair thing, just served with shredded cabbage in a tortilla and it changed my view of nutrition forever. i suddenly realized that shoving chicken into a tortilla is a food, that sliced pork cutlet and some pickled red cabbage is a food, the added protein and lack of leavened bread fixed a lot of stomach problems i had been dealing with
You have no idea how nice it is to have videos like this with minimal commentary and no over the top constant talking. I do enjoy a minimal bit of soft voice over but it's nice to just see the process.
The costumes in history channel Vikings show makes me want to tear my hair out. They got everything from biker outfits to late renaissance helmets like wtf they look nothing like the fyrd or huscarls.
In early medieval context, this is no simple meal. Two common viking travellers would have no means how to get black pepper, and even if they did, the amount they used here would cost them as much as all their clothes and gear costs combined. ...pepper was just not the most period correct spice to use here :D
I just ate some chicken and rice that I cooked myself (just started to cook, like from scratch, my dad's teaching me his army and cooking-for-a-bunch-of-hungry-guys-working-the-oil-rigs ways) but watching this made me hungry again.
As someone very fond of the viking life/culture this video was much joy, and inspired me to make a simple fryingpan kinda like the fryingplate you were using, like that plate but with a riveted handle attached. :)
A video without a person yelling, crying, or complaining. No political or social agenda. Just noise of the wilderness and tools being used. Thank you so much for this video.
Looks great you guys ! Funny how French and Indian war hear in the states 1700s not much different in the foods and prep ! Same type just a little different great to see you guys
I like that you showed how easy it is to prep the herbs/spices for the pork, but I think i would have done that before. The stack of seasoned slices of pork would have been easy enough to carry and more of the flavor would have permeated the meat, plus one or two less things needing to be done. . The garlic, caraway (?) and herbs added to the griddle cakes was a nice touch, I would have added some soft butter to the mix (if you didn't). The quail egg added to the onions was a nice touch, but you could have added the peas to the onions then, when cooked, add the egg.
I really doubt that vikings back then would have carried fresh pork loin or all that cooking gear. That being said. I totally LOVED the rustic frying plate and how everything was done without monologues or political snafus. Just good honest living history stuff. Going to check the rest of the channel to see more goodies.
Many died and suffered before a creative mind found an ingenious solution to maybe a century old problem. Believe it or not, our ancestors skills are all covered in American blood. This is why these must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same for our children and our children's children. learn out here: plus.google.com/115269488323000538621/posts/bQkroNEfBFv now, my friends, we are sitting on the edge of oblivion
I love this video, so awesome. . . . I produced a cooking video with some viking re-enactors from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Check it out and tell me your thoughts? I've never been much interested in Viking culture, but I've learned so much about it from my viking friends. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EtiNlAuFyms.html
It would have been nice for you guys to go into more detail about what sources you got that lists ancient new Norwegian recipes. I'd recommend you go to Townsend he does a really good job at now only demonstrating how to make historical meals but also goes into detail about the history behind it and how to make it yourself.
Good Work . Hi I have a question , I want to know what kind of clothes were used in Norway during the Viking Age in the 9th century ? , such as if The Viking used Thorsberg Moon pant in Norway in the 9th century ( I do know if the spell is okay )
HAHA. So close to everyday Danish food today. We mash the peas though. And the pine tea is spot on but only when it is really young and fresh. I liked your video.
I love this era in history and I believe the best way of experiencing it is through food, would it be possible to get a list of ingredients for this video? Would love to recreate it ahahaha
These two young man got it right. Food always taste better by a camp fire in the woods. Are there any historic registry as to what kind os spices the Vikings used on their food?
