Viking food

Presenter James MacKenzie is shown the types of food that the Vikings ate, how it was prepared and cooked. We have learnt about the Vikings' diet and cooking implements from archaeological discoveries in Viking huts and refuse. Vikings ate fruit and vegetables and kept animals for meat, milk, cheese and eggs. They had plenty of fish as they lived near the sea. Bread was made using quern stones, stone tools for hand grinding grain.
