I am new to this site, so don't know the history and therefore ask: What does "Beowulf Potpurri" mean?

For each challenge week we usually try to come up with some kind of challenge name for each challenge that summarises the challenge, so it's more than just "Challenge 2" for instance.

"Beowulf Potpurri" simply is the name I picked since the challenge has a collection of lines from the original Beowulf text, instead of the whole text, to make it easier to pick out lines/text to work with. A Potpourri can be "a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices that is usually kept in a jar and used for scent". However, potpourri can also refer to "a miscellaneous collection" of some sort. I guess it's my Swedish spelling of the word (missing the o, I realise now) that might be the case of confusion here as well :)
