Pass the Smoked Mackerel Eric.


      Time to eat yourself slim, by the North-Person method, or the Scandinavian/Viking Diet. Mind you, those enormous meat eating sessions, need to be kept discreetly to one side. Of course you can always rely upon dishes prepared with Lamb and their should be a fair amount of Game, available.
      You know, such people living up a fjord, close to the sea, will naturally have lots of fish and a good variety of north water fish in their diets, such as Mackerel, Herring, Trout and Salmon, to name but a few.
      It's all about foods sourced locally and seasonally, a good balance of Protein, Carbohydrate and Fats, with Barley, Berries and Oats, with Poultry, Fish and Game, Cabbage, Kale and Root Vegetables.
      As a sampler you could try say a omelette cooked with bacon, or some smoked mackerel with a Scandinavian cheese, (the Vikings have a long tradition of cheese making) with a hunk of rye bread.
