from Wikipedia, if you can believe them.

Smalahove (also called smalehovud or skjelte) is a Western Norwegian traditional dish made from a sheep's head, originally eaten before Christmas.[1] 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 one word for sheep.[2][3] The skin and fleece of the head is 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 aqua vitae.[4] In some preparations, the brain is cooked inside the skull and then eaten with a spoon or fried.[5] Originally, smalahove was typically eaten by the poor, but today it is considered a delicacy.

A recent meal:

One of the best things I made over the past few weeks was a Beef Rib Roast (not Prime Rib) on the grill.

I could walk you through what I did, but this site is the method/recipe I used, and this guy explains it far better than I could. It takes time to read through this page but it is well worth it - this guy knows his stuff. I followed his instructions to the letter and turned out a fantastic Rib Roast that my guests could not stop gushing over.

Beef Rib Roast

Having read that and finding out I had everything he required, I got to work. Here's my rib roast all trimmed of fat and trussed up:

Here it is all dressed up with the herb paste, ready for the grill:

Now, I'd like to have about half a dozen more pictures to show, but stuff got really busy right about this time in the cooking process, and since I was doing this alone, I didn't have time (or clean hands) to be taking a lot of pictures.

After four hours on the grill, this is the juice that collected underneath that bad boy. I'd loved to have just dove right into that, or poured it into a glass and drank it straight. It was heavenly. Instead I used it to make a fantastic gravy for the garlic mashed potatoes:

Tragically, I was far too busy to take pictures of the finished roast off the grill. Everyone came at once and I had to slice and serve post haste. Here's the wreckage of that once-might piece of meat:

This was a restaurant-quality meal. Granted, it was a tremendous piece of meat to begin with, but after all that money and work, it all turned out perfectly.

I highly recommend making this recipe, either on your grill or in the oven, for Christmas Dinner or something. One recommendation - eliminate the cayenne from the rub/paste. It is not necessary.
