What did Vikings eat in the Middle Ages?
Vikings raised agricultural crops when they were at home, and these included vegetables and animals. Their land was not rich, and the climate was cold, so they used hardy grains, including oats, barley, and rye. They had root vegetables, such as turnips, beets and carrots, and they had cabbage crops. I have not seen references to their doing so, but I would be very surprised if they did not pickle vegetables. They raised sheep and small cattle, along with chickens for meat, eggs, and dairy products. Since they werer seagoing, they also ate a fair amount of fish. They made both ale and mead, and would have made cider in those areas where there were apples. They ate various fruit, including berries.
the vikings were only depicted that way because the Norwegians,Swedes,French, and others were very small maybe only 5 foot at the most, so to them 6 foot was really tall! Are you sure you didn't see Goliath, he was a very very tall warrior along time ago used to threaten other armies into giving up. But the average height of a viking was about 5 foot 7.
