And sit together well agreeing.
(Vafthrudnismal.)
In Grimnismál we are told that the cook in Valhalla was called Andhrimnir, and the cauldron Eldhrimnir:—
Andhrimnir does
Cook Sæhrimnir
In Eldhrimnir;
The best of pork,
But few know
By what the Einherjar live.
“Then Gangleri said: ‘A great many men are there in Valhalla; surely Odin is a very great chief, as he rules over such a host. What is the entertainment of the Einherjar when they are not drinking?’ Hár answered: ‘Every day after having dressed they put on their war clothes, and go out into the enclosure and fight and slay each other. This is their game; near day-meal[[377]] they ride home to Valhalla and sit down to drink[[378]]’” (Later Edda, c. 40).
