About this recipe
Healthiness : (133 votes)
Saxon farmers and Viking settlers would have eaten their main meal in the evening after the day's work was done. Cured meat, such as ham, would be available occasionally. Mostly there was a kind of stew or thick soup made from wide range of vegetables, both cultivated and gathered, and bread - a very popular food. In fact, the diet was generally wholesome.
At feast times, people would enjoy listening to minstrels playing pipes or lyres and bards telling tales of great warriors. Hear a tale of Beowulf at this Saxon meal.
