The weekend before Thanksgiving I went home to Window Rock for a traditional Navajo wedding. My brother married his longtime girlfriend who lives just outside Gallup, NM. Traditionally, the bride's family take care of the wedding accommodations which entails feeding the groom's family and everyone else. Navajos eat mutton and they butchered a sheep (maybe two, I dunno). Normally they'll eat most every part of the sheep (not sure about the privates). They'll save the blood and wash out the stomach of the sheep, then pour the blood in the stomach along with potatoes or onions and make what is called dith' or blood sausage. It's gnarly but I'll eat it. They also do things like clean out the intestines and then wrap them tightly around a piece of fat and grill it over open flame. That's called ach'ii' or insides. I get down on that too.



What we have here is the head of the sheep that has been stashed in the top of a leafless bush or shrub. They probably did this so that the dog wouldn't get to it. Normally, the head is singed of all it's hair, then buried and cooked underneath a fire. My grandma used to make us eat that stuff too.

The pic looks sorta brutal.

Anyhow, to relate this to the Thanksgiving thread, my family sent me back with the sheep's backbone, which is commonly made into stew. So for Tday I make backbone stew with posole' and took it over to my in-law's place. It was gooood.

that is 1000 times more interesting than my thanksgiving.

I now know why 80% of native americans I know love metal, with this kinda stuff a normal occurrence (that brutal severed head picture) how can you not.
