Were you aware of it?, vol.1: Thorrablot

Continuing the tradition presumably begun by J. Hodgman.

Vikings celebrated February - the fourth month of winter - with plenty of dancing and singing and hearty Viking-sized meals of Slatur - sheep's blood pudding rolled in lard and sewn up in the stomach. They consumed half-boiled lamb's heads called Svid, seal flippers, rotten shark, and scarfed pickled ram's testicles.
