on the street or the side of the road.

Lamb Brains

Feeling adventurous?  If you are ever in Morocco cruising the street, you may want to try a signature dish, a lamb head sandwich. According to the street vendor featured in the YouTube video assigned to this post, he picks up 50-60 lamb heads everyday from his supplier.  He also states that it is very healthy, pure meat.  And since it is cooked from the steam of boiling water, all the grease is cooked out of the skull.  Just at his small street stand he has on average 150 customers a day.  Although street food, lamb head is considered a delicacy in Morocco, and can be purchased for only 15 durhams, 0r ($2 dollars).  I just might try it, would you?  Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
