Smalahove
''Smalahove'' (also called ''smalehovud'', ''sau(d)ehau(d)'' or ''skjelte'') is a Western Norwegian traditional dish made from a sheep's head, originally eaten before Christmas.

Hǫfuð), and ''smale'' is a word for sheep, so ''smalahove'' literally means "sheep head". The skin and fleece of the head are torched, the brain removed, and the head is salted, sometimes smoked, and dried. The head is boiled or steamed for about three hours, and served with mashed rutabaga and potatoes. It is also traditionally served with akevitt. In some preparations, the brain is cooked inside the skull and then eaten with a spoon or fried. Originally, ''smalahove'' was typically eaten by the poor. Traditional consumption One serving usually consists of one half of a head. The ear and eye are normally eaten first, as they are the fattiest ...
