As a Viking kid, or child, you woke up and helped prepare a breakfast, such as porridge made using the grains that you grounded, goat's milk, and honey. With your porridge you most likely had a slice of dried corn bread and slated horse meat. You might have had a small drink of water or goat's milk. After breakfast you would scamper out to help your mother with the chores, such as mending the clothes, tending to the harvest and crops, making linens, and preparing lunch. Lunch was either dried pork, lamb or game, boiled in an iron pot with the carrots that you peeled, the peas, the wild onions that you unwrapped, the nettle, the herbs and the dandelion leaves that you and your siblings picked. You would once again have dried corn bread, but this time with chicken's eggs. As another side dish, you would share with the family the berries, nuts and acorns that you picked that morning during your chores, and as a drink there would be some apple tea. (Apple tea is apple slices and leaves soaked in hot or boiling water). You would most likely get your tea sweetened with honey, the honey that is in the bowl that you made yourself. After lunch you would once again tend to the animals of the house and den, the chickens, goats, etc. You would perhaps get some time to yourself, to talk to your friend or to play with your siblings, and then it would be time for dinner. Father would have come back from hunting, and so there would be sun-dried fish marinated in milk and boiled gruels, there would be cheese and dried apples, and also a choice of beer or mead. After dinner you would do the washing up, then wash yourself, and go to bed. You would then wake up the next day, to repeat the cycle. That is what Vikings did as kids.
