Re: viking food.
Yes, I thought so too. All those fresh berries and fish etc. Horse meat is sometimes available here, comparatively cheap too, but I never buy it. THanks for the visit Taps.

I enjoyed the Viking food site. Their food at that time sounded very basic, very filling and nourishing, with lots of protein for energy to work hard. The bread looks good to me, but I could do without the horse meat.

That 'Kentucky Fried chicken' sentence in the middle of Copenhagen does sound like a tourist turnoff. I can't even eat that stuff here without getting sick. Have a nice weekend luv.

My Mum's Grandfather was Danish The namwe Peterson which is
pretty common I know.We visited Scandinavia way back in the swinging 60's so she could enjoy Denmark. My youngest son looks rather like a big Viking....he can drink beer like one too.

Re: I think the world's restaurant industry has become homogenized.
Homogenized is exactly the right word to describe it. Thanks for the visit Pat.

I think the world's restaurant industry has become homogenized.
Any town you reach along the way offers the same burger and pizza joints, the same "family-style" restaurants, everything deep fried, coated with sugar, layered with cheese. Even salads have gobs of grated cheese -- and we all end up supersized.
