Mansif for lunch

Lunch at the United Muslim Relief office in Mafraq was Mansif.  Everyone in Jordan loves Mansif--in fact it's the national dish.  This is what it looks like:

 If you look closely, you can see a sheep's head, the mouth open, the rows of teeth and the tongue sticking out.  It's all sitting on a bed of rice.  Actually the rice is quite good.  The meat--not so much to our liking.

Grab a handful of rice and meat, squish it up and plop it into your mouth.  Jamal pulled out the tongue and gave a piece to Lynn to eat.  I couldn't look.
