Research-based cookbook for cavemen and Vikings
The first ever cookbook based on archaeological finds is now out in English. The recipes are based on research from numerous archaeological sites in central and northern Europe.
***
The more than 80 recipes in the book reveal a diet that’s somewhat more varied than that of today’s spaghetti sauce and fast food lovers. Some of the fancier recipes include:
Wild mashed apples with sea buckthorn
Salted and dried sheep's rib steamed over birch branches
Barley-lentil pot with blubber
***
But the authors also wish to shake up the modern diet.
“In our busy lives where cooking takes the lowest priority, where we just eat a burger in passing while we work, watch TV or play computer games, a bit of prehistoric cooking could be a way of breaking these habits,†says Karg.
â€The many simple dishes in the book are ideal for family projects, where the kids can join in. This could add a bit of extra quality time to the cooking experience.â€
=======
"Mom, we want more Barley -Lentil pot with blubber, yum!"
Okay, now where's the pie-and-jam primitive, the "grasswire" primitive the Vikingette Judy?
Surely addled Judy can dig up a recipe for lutefisk pie.

6. Thanks!
Ugly waves at franksolich, because she knows what's going on.
<<<also knows what's going on, excepting baffled by the non-appearance of Vikingette Judy.

I would imagine the caveman cookbook would be like mine:
1. Get meat
2. Build fire
3. Put meat over fire
4. Eat when done

Wild mashed apples with sea buckthorn
I see a problem with that diet. I wonder if the DUmmies will eat it.
Most buckthorn varieties are easy-to-grow shrubs that make great privacy or backdrop plantings thanks to their dense habit and lustrous, dark green foliage. Many produce fruits that are poisonous to humans and animals, but attract birds.

Sea-Buckthorns are actually a different plant altogether than Buckthorns.
