[Sca-cooks] RE: Dutch Recipes was Scary Period Food

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

Um... dumb question... people keep talking about beef here-- why? Also, 
I'm wondering if this recipe is for something cut off during neutering 
of the sheep, or for something that you get when you slaughter the 
wether... I guess I don't know all that much about period methods of 
neutering rams. Nowadays an elastic band is used around the testicles, 
so the penis wouldn't be removed until slaughtering.
