All those Viking SUVs made the climate warm enough to grow crops in Greenland.

And drowned all the poor polar bears.

Porridge, bread and beer.......let’s not forget the creamed herring!......no wonder they were out raiding all the time, they couldn’t get a decent meal.

“Sven! What did you have for supper?”

“Porridge.”

“Boat Trip! Let’s go South and see if we can find some decent eats!”

How different would life be had the Vikings settled Plymouth 600 years before the Pilgrims?

The US wanted to buy Greenland for 100,000,000 in the fifties.
Denmark declined.

How does finding a tiny bit of Barley “Prove” that it was grown there? Couldn’t it have been transported there in their boats?

——baking bread -—

I did not know barley was milled to flour.

I thought it was for thickening stew and beer
