"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
We find the first traces of this crispbread in Sweden around 500 AD.

Originally, they were was made round with a hole in the middle so that the breads could be stored for a long time, threaded on long sticks hanging from the ceiling. The traditional recipe as we know it today was invented about 500 years ago.

Traditionally, knækbrød was baked twice a year, at the end of the summer, just after harvest and again in the spring.
