Vegetable dishes
15. SVEN THE BIG BEARD’S SWORD (for one)
11.90 €
Not also was his beard huge, but also his stomach – so big that it was too big to be carried along. Helga finally came up with this slightly lighter recipe – it had to be tasty, but not too heavy for Sven. The sword is filled with vegetables, pepper fried in herb oil, zucchini and tomatoes all served on a mixture of carrots and onions. Delicious chanterelle sauce is added, as well as pickled tomatoes, a baked potato with basil butter and broiled home-made bread. This made Sven very happy.

18. FREE RANGE CHICKEN FROM THE VÄINÄ RIVER

24. BOLGARIAN MUTTON
16.60 €
Even the Vikings had to pay tax when they traveled to the Caspian Sea. The Bolgarians loved good food, so sometimes the Vikings had to give away their recipes in addition to silver and gold.

25. RANVAIK’S WILD BOAR
16.80 €
Rainvaik loved to take other people’s things. Once he even wrote his name in Runes on a casket he had stolen from a Scotsman, so why wouldn’t he have claimed that this wild boar recipe was his own as well? But he also gave the Scotsman some of this delicacy: roasted wild boar fillet with tar and root crop sauce, blueberry sauce, smoke-cheese potatoes and parsley oil. And they were good friends ever after.
26. RED DEER SWORD FROM THE RHEINLAND
21.40 €
Although the Vikings drank from horns or wooden mugs, some of them were desperate to get a glass from the Rheinland. Ragnar was not too interested in the glass, as long as he got his portwine.

27. THE PERMIANS’ REINDEER
