Andhrimnir is the cook of the Aesir and the Einheriar. Every evening he slaughters the cosmic boar Sahrimnir and cooks it in his magical cauldron Eldhrimnir. This boar is restored to life every night only to be slaughtered and eaten again the next day. The milk provided by the goat Heidrun, which stands on top of the world tree (Yggdrasil) and eats its leaves, forms the basic ingredient for the mead drunk by the Aesir.
