Smalahove (also called smalehovud or skjelte) is a Western Norwegian traditional dish made from a sheep’s head originally eaten before Christmas. The name of the dish comes from the combination of the Norwegian words hove and smale. Hove is a dialectal form of hovud meaning head and smale is a word for sheep so Smalahove literally means sheep head. . The skin and fleece of the head is torched the brain removed and the head is salted sometimes smoked and dried.
