In Eldrhímnir, Andrhrímnir cooks
Sæhrímnir’s seething flesh
The best of bacons
Most marvelous meat
Though, few are those who know
On what fare the einherjar feast
Grímnismál, Poetic Edda (ca. 13th century)
In Scandinavian Mythology, Sæhrímnir (sai-rim-nir) was a mythical boar, roasted and served to the Gods of Valhalla. After each nightly feast, the boar was magically made whole, resurrected to be cooked again the following day. Porcus id est sine fine – the infinite pig.
In honor of this legendary sacrifice, the members of the Sæhrímnir Supper Club have dedicated their lives to the search for legendary barbecue. Each month, our members gather to search for smoked meat worthy of the Gods – barbecue that glorifies the name of Sæhrímnir, the ever-whole hog of Valhalla.
