They ate a wide variety of foods. Basically if you eat it today it was also eaten by the Vikings.
Beef, pork, lamb and mutton were staple meats, sea food was also eaten regularly.
Preserving meat was also very important so they salted, smoked and fermented meats as well. Fowl was also eaten.
If they happened up on a beached whale they would gather the meat from the carcass (I assume if it wasn't to terribly rancid but not having lived back then anythings possible I suppose)
They also ate a wide variety of vegetables as well from carrots to celery and pea's. These were also preserved usually by drying. Apples and a multitude of berries were also widely eaten.
They also ate eggs, made sausages as well as cheese both pressed block and curds, soups and stews were commonplace and breads were made from different grains they had available.

Answer 4

They used spoons, knives, pots and pans.

The Vikings usually cooked on an open fire and did not have forks. They didn't need forks anyway because the majority of Viking meals were either hand-held (bread, chicken) or stews.

To eat their meals they used their hands, wooden plates and wooden bowls. Richer Vikings could afford to have metal plates and bowls made for them, but wood was the most commonly used, because Vikings travelled a lot and wood was the most readily available.

They had two meals a day, breakfast and dinner, while occasionally snacking through the day. They didn't have such a thing as lunchtime.
