Hühnertopf mit Bier I

Skandinavien

Note: The use of allspice in this recipe probably isn't a very good recreation. Allspice is the dried, unripe berry of Pimenta dioica, an evergreen tree in the myrtle family. After drying, the berries are small, dark brown balls just a little larger than peppercorns. Allspice comes from Jamaica, Mexico, and Honduras, all in the New World in areas where the Vikings never visited. Christopher Columbus discovered allspice in the Caribbean, mistaking it for black pepper, which he had heard about but never seen himself, calling it "pimienta," which is Spanish for pepper. Its Anglicized name, pimento, is occasionally used in the spice trade today.
