But, you can actually eat our way now, without accidentally turning in to a savage beast (no we weren't, the tv-series vikings are not how our society was at the time, please do not use it as "facts").
First of is Knäckebröd (Crispbread). Can be stored for years, it might go less crisp, but after a few seconds in the microwave or a couple of minutes in the oven, it will crisp up again. Can be bought on IKEA (who would have guessed?). http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/food ... -30268592/
Todays second item is a dish called Lapskojs. It's mashed potatoes with shredded salted beef. preferable served with pickled beetroots. Often the tin called Salta biten is used for the meat part. Do not mistake it for corned beef.
Nässelsoppa (Nettlesoup). We have been eating this dish even before the viking era. Pick nettles in spring when they are about a maximum of 10 cm, boil them quickly in a chicken broth, chop them, put them back in the broth and boil with some full cream. Serve with some boiled half eggs.
Pyttipanna (small bits in the pan). Chop all your fairly dry leftovers, like meat, sausages, potatoes, onions ets, fry them in a pan and serve with pickled beetroots or pickled cucumbers and a fried egg.
Sill (pickled herring). Why not eat raw fish? Just let it set for a while in vinegar and spices, then some people find it eatable.
Gravad lax. Someone once forgot about one salmon lying in salt and dill and then decided to eat it. Not my cup of tea, but it will make the salmon stay eatable for quit a while.
Surströmming. If you can eat this and survive, you will survive TEOWAWKI.
