For this morning's breakfast I tried the "Viking breakfast" that I put together as part of the "Viking bachelor food" experiment.  I didn't actually get to implement it over the weekend, as much of the food I'd set aside for the weekend ended up spending said weekend in the fridge in my office, not coming with me to the event.  Very sad.

Anyway, this morning I lined up

  • A thick slice of the "IKEA bread", more properly "ragbrod", very coarse grained and hearty wheat and rye bread
  • two slices of gjetost cheese, a sweet cheese made from caramelized whey
  • a hard boiled egg (I settled for chicken, not having any puffins around)
  • a pile of home made sauerkraut
  • two nice fat pieces of pickled herring with onions (sooooo good)

It made an excellent breakfast, and really got the day off to a fine (and fishy) start.  Easy, portable, and very satisfying.  I'll definitely be packing this stuff along to events this summer.

Hi Patrick

I've just been reading some of your ramblings. I found it while searching for Piima culture (which I don't seem to be able to get in Australia!) I've been on a bit of a food research mission and have been reading Nourishing Traditions. There was such a similar vein in your writings that I did a search and ta-da! You have been reading the same book!

I've just ordered some Kefir culture from Dom, he's an intereting guy.

I've just started to integrate some of these ideas into our lifestyle. We moved to a farm from the city just over two years ago and have been developing our fruit and vegetable garden. We also breed Wiltshire Horn Sheep and have a bunch of interesting chickens.

Anyway, have fun with your food. I'll pop in from time to time and see how you are doing.
