  At first I was like &quot;Why would they use blood to preserve bread if it didn&apos;t have much shelf life&quot; and then I realized the bread was to preserve the blood. Pretty metal.

  Phrases one doesn&apos;t expect in baking - &quot;There&apos;s a lot of blood in this bread.&quot;

  As a professional baker who is also of Danish descent, I got an AMAZING opportunity a few years ago. A touring Viking exhibit came through my town and landed at my local museum for a season. They had loaves of bread in this exhibit. Local bakeries were given the basic components of the bread that had been identified. Since this exhibit was close to my heart and my heritage, my bakery gave me the challenge to recreate the bread. We featured it while the exhibit was in town. It was so much fun and a great challenge. And it felt so awesome to reconnect with my ancestors.

  &quot;There is a lot of blood in this bread&quot; is a sentence that is pretty alarming outside of the context of this particular foodstuff.

  I swear i&apos;ll never get tired of the hardtack clacking cutaway gag, no matter how many times it crops up.

  I love how the dough changed colour as you kneaded it because the blood oxidised, or basically rusted.

  I tried blood bread for the first time this fall and what I loved about it was that the entire time I was eating it i couldn’t tell if I was eating beef jerky or bread. It looked and folded like beef jerky smelled and tasted like bread.

  John of Wallingford was just mad that he couldn’t comb his own hair and magically appeal to the noble ladies

  The idea of a Viking baker sounds both terrifying AND like the basis of the best Food Network cooking show ever!
