		<description><![CDATA[Whether Vikings might have cooked with hazelnut milk probably turns on the quantities of hazelnuts that were relatively easy for Vikings to obtain.  Did hazelnuts grow in Scandinavia in Viking times, or were they imported from the British Isles or someplace else?  (Wikipedia says that there&#039;s evidence for &quot;large scale&quot; hazelnut processing from the Mesolithic Period on one of the Scottish islands, but I have no idea where and when hazelnuts grew in the rest of Northern Europe.)

That being said, however, I think your recipe sounds tasty except for the dill, which I only like in small amounts.  :-)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your use of possible-if-not-probable ingredients really closely matches my own gluten free medievalish cooking experiments -- I won&#039;t use corn starch or xanthan gum, but I have no problem with combining rice, almond, millet, and oat flours in ways that medieval people really never would have.

Speaking of millet, wouldn&#039;t a millet porridge cooked with hazelnut milk just be insanely delicious? We should try that!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The theisis by Sven Isaksson (and any other work by him) is excellent as he understands that food is more than just diet. Three of his interpretations of recipes will appear in the cookbook I am working on. The book by Ann Hansson is also great, though I shoudl recommend that you try to get hold of 
Bergström, Liselotte (2007)
Gräddat. Brödkultur under järnålder I östra Mälardalen.
which is an even more  in depth study of bread in Sweden during the viking age.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a great assortment of experiments!  The one with the pork sausages sounds the tastiest to me.

Re: cooking the dried peas; you may want to consider pre-soaking them for a day or so before you try heating them with the other ingredients in the pot.  Though dried split peas might work better anyway, as you suggested.  

Re:  Andouille.  Modern andouille made in the US usually contains dried chili pepper of some variety or other, and thus contains at least one clearly non-period ingredient.  However,  &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andouille&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; claims that andouille was made in France before it was brought to the New World, and that the ingredients were &quot;pork, pepper, onions, wine, and seasonings.&quot;  Assuming Wikipedia meant black pepper, it&#039;s possible that all the ingredients in a traditional French (as opposed to a Cajun or modern American) andouille were, in fact, period (if expensive) for the Viking era.  I don&#039;t know whether the French made andouille sausage as far back as the Viking period, but that might be an interesting issue for research!]]></description>
