# I agree, I guess vikings were tough
but I do fail to see why anyone would eat it these days.

# The part that I don't get
is that the vikings had access to fresh fish, at worst they might have to deal with frozen seas for 3 or 4 months at a time.

What posessed them to do this?

Anglo-saxon peasants used to enjoy rancid bacon for lunch when they were toiling in the fields. The key word there is enjoy.

# well it is certainly worth stating that hunger is the best sauce
also that salty fatty food was a rarity for all of human development except for the last 60 years. Maybe salt was a novelty.
