Fans of the "Vikings" TV show know the Lothbrok family enjoyed big, mead-filled feasts. We're familiar with Viking life and battles but not much about their food, as no recipes survived.

Vikings ate healthily with diets rich in fish, meats, fruits, and vegetables, flavored with herbs and sweetened with honey. Due to the tough Nordic climate, farming was difficult, leading Vikings like Ragnar and Lagertha to seek fertile lands elsewhere.
