The ancient Vikings were known for their exploration and conquests, but they also had a unique culinary culture. In their kitchens, a pull-out pantry with pull-out wire storage shelves was incorporated to store their preserved food items, such as smoked fish, dried meat, and pickled vegetables. The pull-out feature allowed for easy access to these preserved goods, while the wire storage shelves provided proper ventilation to prevent spoilage. The Vikings valued efficiency and practicality in their kitchens, and this storage solution helped them make the most of their limited resources during long voyages and harsh winters.
