The setup

Two shaggy Viking chefs host a winter cookery show where the only recipe is to throw whatever they can catch into the pot.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Si and Dave, a Viking take on TV's Hairy Bikers, present a forest cooking segment about a month-old stew kept going through the lean Scandinavian winter. They fish out goose, hare and walrus, add a freshly netted seagull, then run out of ingredients and start eyeing their horse, until a hungry polar bear drawn by the smell sends them running.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

I love a bit of walrus.

No, really, I could eat the horse.

We're gonna need a bigger pot!

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The Vikings parody the Hairy Bikers, the BBC cookery duo Si King and Dave Myers.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
