Middelaldermarkeder 2017

Kalender over middelaldermarkeder 2017 med links til markedernes hjemmesider, opdelt efter landsdel.

Sidste år fandt jeg en rigtig fin hjemmeside med en kalender over hvilke middelaldermarkeder der forgik hvornår, men jeg kan ikke finde den i år.

Hvis jeg har overset nogen, så smid en kommentar, jeg vil meget gerne have alle med.

This isn’t about perfect authenticity, but it is about presenting something that is plausible – especially when cooking for the public.

In my little project to make a list of what the vikings might have eaten, I thought it might be a good idea to make a list of food that is definitely no-go for viking and early medieval events. The food on this list was either not invented till much much later OR is food stuff only found in the Americas and that the Europeans wouldn’t know till after Columbus – like turkey.
