Fancy a singed sheep-head?
Now, one of our delicacies here are singed sheep-heads, which we call svið. Don't miss it when visiting my country ;) I know I have added tips on the old Icelandic food, but I couldn't resist adding a short tip with photos on singed sheep-heads ;)This course is very popular here, especially with the older generation. My family eats it as well, and I remember that my grandmother ate it a lot. I have never been able to eat this particular part of the sheep, I wonder why ;)In the olden days when there was a shortage of food the whole part of the sheep was used for food - understandably. And it still is. But I could never force myself to eat a face, maybe I was never hungry enough. The photos I add are from a dinner party at my mother's place in November 2010. There were other courses than the shinged sheep-heads though, I must add :)
