Focaccia is great Italian bread that is easy to make and will impress any dinner guests. It is light and soft with amazing bubbles, texture, and taste.

Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe. So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me. Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good. Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise. This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.

The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?
