On Sunday the 21. of
December 2008, we set of to
Voss in two cars -
Mormor,
Morfar,
Gunnar, Thomas, Phillip,
Mamma, Daddy,
Renathe and
Reni.
Mormor and
Morfar had
invited us all to a
Smalahove fest at
Voss - which is
translated to:
Sheep head-party!
We were all quite
excited to taste - except the kids,
Gunnar and Daddy, they had
sausages and "normal"
sheep meat =
pinnekjott! We sat in an old stabbur fra the 1700 something - it's sort of the house were they kept the food in the old days. The sad part, was that this is the only picture a took before the
battery went flat!
This was one of the "nicer" pictures I found of the
sheep heads on the net. It
didn't taste bad at all, but at lot of "work" for very little food. They say the the eyeballs are the best - and you have to ask
Renathe and
Morfar about that!
After we had finished our dinner and dessert, we had a guided tour around the farm to see how the
sheep heads are
prepared. This is the machine were they burn the
wool off, and brush the ash of, later they were washed and cut the head in two, than hung to dry and then later steamed to be
served!
