Getting ready to add some updates to the Draft 14th Century Men's Clothing Guide - Christian Cultures and I'm particularly looking at outer-wear. Right now I'm thinking I will counsel people to make a Bocksten Tunic as their outer wear for the upper body. While the cotehardie is *the* defining garm...

At an event some time ago, I was afforded the opportunity to sample a type of Norse/Viking flat Grain/Granola/energy Bar that is good for events (doen't need refrigeration, is hearty, etc.).

Or even know what the name of it is?

bigfredb
