This raven is picking the meat off a sheep's jaw. I'm guessing somebody threw their "svið" leftovers out for the ravens to enjoy. #birds #iceland #raven

Whoops dropped it.

If you aren't familiar with the horror that is the Icelandic cuisine known as "svið" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svi%C3%B0

@baldur South Africa has a similar tradition https://www.tasteatlas.com/smiley
Smiley | Traditional Offal Dish From South Africa | TasteAtlas

Smiley is a traditional South African dish featuring sheep's head as the key ingredient. The sheep heads are actually butcher's leftovers which are broiled (usually in large drums), and the fur is then singed with metal rods, while the animal's lips pull back to reveal a grotesque smile, hence the name smiley

@luxmoore I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a staple in most sheep rearing countries 🙂
