happy 2024 my first meal of the year was Weird Leftovers :D homemade lefse (soft flat bread), that my mom made from a late viking age/early medieval recipe. stuffed full of smoked mackerel that our neighbor fished. eaten in bed. while continuously picking out fish bones. Truly an Experience

#gave my mom a book on medieval food culture for christmas #our fridge was already full of a BUNCH of the ingredients needed (cause christmas food is already borderline medieval)#so we've been eating like filthy rich farmers from the 800s for like a week.#shoutout to the neighbor for always giving us fish. what a ledge. what would we do without him #vitpost #the book is also rly funny because it's full of anecdotes by other europeans back in the day who were just out there #talking shit about nordic cuisine. telling ppl our cheese was full of worms :( that we only drank spoiled milk :(#how about you have some Skyr and maybe you'll calm down #unpopular opinion: nordic food is good actually. people are just mean :( it's not all meatballs and potatoes and slow cooked sheep heads #sure I'm eating smoked fish full of bones out of a slab of flour. but that's a me problem.#we have other food too.
