How To Dine Like It’s 959
Secrets From The Viking Kitchen with Emma Kay
Before modern Halloween, there was Vetrnætr and Álfablót — Norse winter festivals dedicated to sacrifice, potions, and honoring ancestral spirits. This Halloween, join food historian and archaeologist Emma Kay to explore the culinary rituals of 9th- to 11th-century Vikings living in Britain. Learn the truth about fearsome Norse elves (formidable demi-gods, not tiny helpers) and the feasts that sustained them. Guests will sample authentic ancient grain bread and non-alcoholic mead, and even craft a traditional clay pinch pot to take home. Learn to dine like it’s 959!
