Lè ou panse a yon Scandinavian Nwèl, apetisan kannèl bonbon ak gravdlax ta ka pouse nan lespri. Ki sa ki ou pa ta ka panse a se smalahove. (atèl nou) Yon tèt ti mouton an torched ak bouyi ki pran fyète nan plas bò tab la dine Nwèl. Akonpaye pa pòmdetè, grès ak kraze suedwa. Moun ki chans ase yo eseye sa a plat, has the pleasure of chowing down on the fattiest bits first – the eyes, zòrèy, and tongue if it’s included – before scooping the rest of the head out with a spoon. Ho ho ho – Merry Christmas!

When you think of a Scandinavian Christmas, scrumptious cinnamon cookies and gravdlax might spring to mind. What you might not think of is smalahove. (Brace yourselves) A torched and boiled lamb’s head that takes pride of place at the Christmas dinner table. Accompanied by potatoes, fat and mashed swede. Whoever is lucky enough to try this dish, has the pleasure of chowing down on the fattiest bits first – the eyes, ears, and tongue if it’s included – before scooping the rest of the head out with a spoon. Ho ho ho – Merry Christmas!
