Shari Lewis took great pleasure in ordering lamb chops whenever she got the chance.

I hate these non-specific recipes. How big a sheep does the head come from? How big a bunch of what herbs? How much salt in the water? Does it have to me a medium-medium onion, or can it be a smallish-medium or medium-biggish? Turkish cloves, Hungarian cloves, or those shriveled up Trader Joes cloves?

Oh man, I just got to paragraph two and found out that I should'a had the head split in two at the butchers. I can do it myself, but laterally or longitudinally?

Luckily, I have a whole lot of Zinfandel!

Actually, there's a scene about sheep's head in Angela's Ashes. The dad eats the eyeball. I still say ewe. Yuck!
