Sheeps head.

There's a guy selling cheap sheep's heads near me. I quite fancy getting one. Can I just whack it in the oven for a bit or does anyone know how to cook them properly?

Ewe can't go far wrong if you ram it in the the oven, tup shelf. Check the price though, you don't want to get fleeced.

Ask him to leave the eyes in. You'll want it to see you through the week.

Do you have to remove the wool first then ?

[missnemesis]

Man these jokes are so baaaaaaad!

[joggerjayne]

But seriously ... !!

What would you do? Have a whole head on the table, and let your guests carve bits of meat off the face?

(well, you know ... that's what they do in primitive cultures)

(like Croydon)

[Old_Geezer]

I'd guess you remove the cooked meat in the kitchen and serve on a platter or individual plates. Save the brains for your supper.

Why on earth would ewe want to eat a sheep's head?

[Kendle]

Though the rolling stones done "goats head soup" once.

All of the web recipes seem to say that you need to boil it:

My father used to have a sheep's head in his freezer. He had no idea what to do with it, it just sat there.

I asked our local butcher if he had a sheeps head .
" No - its just the way I part my hair . " He replied

The Norwegians remove the fleece and the brain and boil the head whole - as, I believe, do the Arabs. In some Middle Eastern countries, the eye is considered a delicacy. Rather you than me! Enjoy!

My sister's FIL was offered sheeps' eyes in Saudi years ago, it would have caused great offence to refuse it. Bleah.

Korean wins over Saudi cuisine any day boxtops. It's the dog's ***. :)

[douglas9401]

Wow, what happened there?

[mungbeanz]

Thanks all. Looks like i'm having Morrocan steamed sheep's head for tea tomorrow! I wondered why some of them were chopped in half. Now I know.
