DD> Son of Erik the Red, young Leif Erikson .. first Europeans
DD> 'Vinland.' L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada.
I've been to L'Anse aux Meadows. I had hoped to get a job at the
site but there were hundreds of grad students majoring in archeology
happy to work there for free. They wouldn't let me past the gate,
not even to look. It's a stark place, green but treeless. Vinland
was further south, most likely present day Massachusetts.
DD> Title: Swedish Meatballs
Erik (he discovered Greenland) was from Norway and was exiled to
Iceland. Leif was from Iceland.

Title: Icelandic Fish Patties Islandska Fiskbiffar
Categories: Scandinavia, Fish
Yield: 4 Servings
400 g Fillets of cod or haddock
1 dl Wheat flour
5 1/2 dl Milk
1 lg Egg
1 Red onion, finely chopped
2 ts Green chili, finely chopped
1 ts Salt
3/16 ts Black pepper
Butter for frying
Honey onion:
2 Middle-sized onions. sliced
2 Middle-sized leeks, sliced
Some butter for frying
1 ts Honey
To serve:
Mashed potatoes flavored
With
Chopped parsley
Lemon carrots
Finely chop the fish in a food processor or mixer or by hand. Add
the flour alternating with milk. Stir down eggs, red onion, green
chili, and spices in the ground fish and leave in a cold place for
a while.
Slowly fry the onions soft in some butter. Add honey towards the
end and increase the heat so that it takes a nice color. Dilute
with some water and set aside.
Lightly brown some butter and drop the fish straight into the
frying pan, using a tablespoon. Flatten and brown them slowly in
the pan, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve with the fried onion,
lemon carrots, and mashed potatoes.
Lemon carrots: Peel carrots and continue "cutting" them with the
potato peeler, so you get long carrot bands. Melt some butter, add
a few tablespoons lemon juice and a pinch of sugar. Saute the
carrot bands in the butter until they're soft and sprinkle with
some salt.
