The ancient Vikings were known for their seafaring and warrior culture, but they also had well-equipped kitchens. While the concept of a lazy Susan may not have been present in ancient Viking kitchens, they did have practical storage solutions. Tiered shelves made of wood or stone were commonly used to store various kitchen items such as cooking pots, drinking horns, and utensils. The tiered design allowed for easy access to all items, making cooking and feasting a seamless experience in ancient Viking kitchens.
