Ancient Viking kitchens were simple and functional, designed to withstand the harsh Nordic climate. They were typically located in a separate building or a designated area within the longhouses. Adding a dedicated pasta-making station to an ancient Viking kitchen would have been an intriguing addition. While pasta was not part of Viking cuisine, they did have a type of flatbread called 'flatkaka' made from barley or rye flour. Having a designated area for making flatkaka or experimenting with pasta-making techniques would have added versatility to the ancient Viking kitchen.
