The ancient Vikings had simple yet functional kitchens that were designed to cater to their nomadic lifestyle. While glass cabinet inserts were not used during this time, the Vikings had storage solutions in their kitchens. They used wooden chests, shelves, and clay pots to store their food items. The Viking cuisine primarily consisted of fish, meat, dairy products, and grains. They used various cooking techniques such as smoking, boiling, and roasting. The Vikings also had a strong tradition of communal feasting and often gathered for celebrations and social gatherings.
