The cult that once worshipped Tyr is reflected primarily in place names, especially in Denmark. Tislund, Tisso, and Tyrseng are Danish locations that remember Tyr. The waters of Tisso, which means “Tyr’s lake,” have yielded up to archaeologists a wealth of Viking weapons—spear tips, axes, and swords—that were thrown into the lake as offerings to Tyr.
In the spirit of Lake Tisso, competitors are asked to bring their best Scandinavian inspired stews. Please document time period, ingredients, and how your inspiration is represented in your stew.
