I found this 18th century recipe... :grin:

A Sheeps Head Soop

Take the sheeps head & put it down with as much water as will cover it, a ****** of sweet herbs, a little all spice & pepper. Let it stew softly till the head be very tender. Then, take up the head & strain the broth & have 2 or 3 onions cut small & an head of white cabbage cut small. Put these in the broth & let it stew till it be very tender. Than have a qrt of new milk boyled, the yolks of 2 eggs brewed in it. Stir this into the soop. You must have one side of the head kept very hot & serve it in the middle of the soop. Put a little salt in.

The censored word in the recipe would translate to a "bundle" The English use that same word or variant to refer to a cigarette.

Or small sticks of wood.
I was at an event with a British guy. It was a good family event and a Mennonite family was there. The Brit made a reference to long fring on many of the people clothing. “ you gents have some long wangs on your trousers”. The Mennonite man asked him not to swear in front of his children.

I meant to edit the word so it wouldn't be censored....but forgot and by the time I noticed it was too late.

NAVAHO STEW is my favorite.

Someone here mentioned cooking lamb chops & cutting them up into stew. = When I do a "locally famous" Mixed Grill with 5 meats, the lamb chops seldom make it to the table. = They get "sampled" until they're G-O-N-E , GONE.
(I've found a Kosher or Halal butcher most everywhere that I've lived since I graduated from HS. = When I lived on our family farm in NETX, I had to drive to Tyler to get Kosher lamb - It was worth the 3 hour round trip.)

I usually do roasted beef, BBQ pork, lamb chops, roast turkey & venison as my 5 meats.
We start with 5 kinds of salads, followed by 5 veggies, 5 meats, 5 breads & 5 desserts. = Everyone usually gets filled up to the ears!!!!
(IF you leave the table W/O being filled up, shame on you.)

I'm fond of lamb (or mutton) roasted in my grill/cooker that I use wood lit with propane first, then I turn the gas to 'low'. the coals do the actual cooking. sort of a mess to clean out about 1ce monthly but worth the trouble IMO. I like to rub the meat with an herb and salt/pepper seasoning. good eating, roast over fairly hot fire.
