[HPFGU-OTChatter] Smalahove

[Neil Ward]

Sister Mary Lunatic said, re Smalahove:

<<My response is awed silence, mouth hanging open while flies buzz in and
out.>>

My mouth is closed as I suppress the urge to vomit. Can I become an
ueber-vegetarian??

In case you missed this ... culinary horror:

> SMALAHOVE
>
> The name stems from the elderly Norwegian noun "smal" or "smale",
> which mean sheep, and the noun "hove", which is a local variation of
> the word head.  The principal ingredient of the dish should thus be
> apparent to all.
>
> The dish is prepared as follows:
>
> Pick a healthy-looking Scrapie-free sheep.
>
> Cut off all the wool (carefully; professional help can be hired in
> most circumstances) - save for later, and learn how to knit.
>
> Cut the head off said sheep.
>
> Scorch the remaining wool off the head, while at the same time
> grilling the skin to a nice, golden crisp.  Take care not to scorch
> the skin, however.  Automated machines are available that perform
> this task.
>
> Wash the head in a washingmachine.
>
> Chop the head (longitudinally) in two peaces.
>
> Remove brain and brainstem, and clean the nose.
>
> Wash the head-halves in a washingmachine.
>
> Boil the headhalves for six hours.
>
> Serv with 'taters, stewed Swedes (Danes if Swedes are out of
> season ;-) ) and Akevitt.  Lots of Akevitt.  Connoiseurs know not to
> eat the cartilage of the ear and the black part of the eye.
>
> All of the above (sans the part about stewed Danes) is true.
