Hey, Chris Kimball here at Milk Street. We're doing a special episode all about Mexico, so I'm taking your calls with our own Sanchez.

So from tacos to Moli to Chalutis, please send us your Mexican cooking questions, email us at questions at milkstreetradio.com.

Again, please send us your questions about Mexican cooking to questions at millstreetradio.com,

and of course, we'll be in touch. Thank you.

This is Milk Street Radio from PRX, and I'm your host, Christopher Kimball.

Today, it's Arena Gorgescu. She returns to the show to teach us about Romanian breads, sour soups, and a little bit of folklore.

We do make a very salty loaf and we just eat a little bit and hope that our future husband

will bring us some water.

But first, we're diving into the Baltic Sea.

The Grybs-Hundin is not your average shipwreck.

While many sunken ships can be littered with artifacts, this one is filled with food.

Brendan Foley is the lead researcher of the Grim's-Hundon excavation, and he joins me now.

Brendan, welcome to Milk Street.

Thank you, Chris. I'm happy to be here.

King Hans, who was the king of Denmark and Norway in 1495, his ambition for his reign was to unify the entire Nordic region. So

what we now think of as Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. He wanted to create sort of a greater

Danish nation state, which would have been a pure competitor for the Tudor kings in England,

for instance. So, okay, so he wanted to build this empire.

First of all, let's talk about the ship.
