Mead was a staple
Nobody would likely be surprised to discover that Vikings were very strong drinkers. Mead, the forerunner of modern beer, was common. The most well-liked kind was honey mead, which was in fact produced using actual honey. The love of mead is obvious even in Norse mythology; for instance, some of them have goats that produce mead. Many people think that the Vikings are to blame for Scandinavians’ continued preference for beer as their preferred alcoholic beverage.

Not just fighters, but also story-tellers
The Vikings had a gentler side despite how harsh and savage much of their way of life was. They enjoyed telling stories, just like everyone else, and their tales were full of symbolism and imaginative detail. They also had a form of spoken word poetry that was unique to them.
Long tales were memorized by Vikings and then shared around the fire. This was done to entertain people as well as to teach the next generation about the history, religion, and culture of the Vikings.
