AKA Viking bread. Although it’s origins are lost to time, something similar could have developed during the renowned viking age.
Since the Vikings developed an extraordinary trading empire. They were sure to encounter and bring home different seeds and nuts from their travels.
Imagine the Vikings and their ships, going down the Volga and the Dneiper Rivers in Russia, all the way to the Black Sea, and even onto Constantinople and into Asia. They even occupied Normandy and southern Sicily.
In Turkey, Asia and Italy, they would have encountered all of these ingredients as well as the recipes that used them.
So it is quite likely that they took them back to ‘Viking’ lands (Scandinavia) and some creative person who had not had the experience of eating the sweetened desserts of the Mediterranean, mixed them together with some eggs to hold them together.
This would be more in keeping with their palate.
Regardless of its origins this Nordic nut bread is easy to make and delicious.
It was sure to be a favorite of Odin’s Ravens, Huginn and Muginn!
