Not baa-aad.

Old sheep show you how its done

How does the restaurant know how one will eat mutton?

Mary had a little lamb ….. for dinner. She hand-led it well.

Happy old sheep not lambs

Enthusiastic hand gestures required when eating.

It insists to be eaten by the hands instead by the mouth!

Curb your mutton.

It’s hand-lickin’ good!

Go Mutt!

“Eat me. I’d eat me. I’d eat me with my hands.”

[Obligatory SOTL reference]

I usually like to eat the hands separately.

There’s nuttin’ like mutton.

It’s hard to be enthusiastic when you’re so sheepish.

Waiter! Where‘s The Thing?

Cooked in palm oil.

– Waiter! My mutt is off!

If it’s that enthusiastic it can jump right into my mouth.

“Lofty groping sheep” would actually have been a more accurate translation for this one…

Hmm, hand sandwich…

Tajikastanis must have funny hands. I normally us my teeth to eat.

One of our senior cabinet ministers in th old Joh Bjelke Petersen days….Namely Russ Hinze. Was replying to a mad greenie on the issue of culling Dingoes.

She said: “Oh! Shooting them is so cruel. Can’t we just round them up, and castrate them, and set them free again?”

Hinzie replied: ” My dear girl! You misunderstand the problem. The Dingoes are Killing the sheep. NOT F—ING THEM!!!”

An animal which enthusiastically likes to be eaten. (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

Are the sheep Russian.

No comrade. They are just as slow as any other f—– sheep.

In Tajikistan the sheep eat you.

Better an enthusiastic mutton eaten with hands than a rude and unreasonable chicken not eaten at all

Hey! I read about this in the Weekly World News!

Hello! And welcome to TFM! Can I interest you in our special Bucket o’ Mutton deal today? Only 10.99 somoni, and free large goat milk shake!

@ Filboid: Please tell me that isn’t a milkshake served in a large goat! I don’t even want to think about where one might insert the straw!! 😮

So calm and collected mutton are spared with fork-eating?

@Eggrish 1748 You may have been sticking your fork in too many sheeps. 😆

Ohh I got plenty o’ mutton…

@Marum: In the story, it was a cow that presented itself to Arthur Dent and company at the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.

Give the mutton a hand!

@DnT: As long as it comes out alright in the end, what’s the diff? I think it’s basically the same as what you get if you go to Kwikee Mart and get a “Big Goat”

Inspired by ‘Silence of the Lambs’ (Eaten with the hands)

“Enthusiastic mutton” really IS funny but the dish in question (beshbarmak or peshparmak) is normally eaten without a fork or a spoon; even the name implies it as “pesh parmak” in most languages of the Turk group means “five fingers”. E.g. the Pentadactilos mountains (Cyprus) in Turkish are called Peshparmak.

Professor Paul, I think you are missing the point of this site.

@Long Tom 2146. But it easily could have been an Aardvark. The plural of which in good Afrkaans/German tradition is Aardvarken.

Is eating Aardvarken easy? No, it’s aardvark.

May you enjoy; Llots of good more than one Aardvark. 🙄

@Paul 0221. Awesome scholarship old chasp. May your life never be short of enthusiastic “pamuks” tasol.

Mutton and mead!

Welcome to Milliways! The Dish of the Day is mutton, and he’s quite enthusiastic about being eaten!

♫And he sang as he stowed that Jumbuk in his tuckerbag,
You’ll come waltzing matilda with me.♪

Russian people eat with their hands. People from the rest of the world eat with their mouths.

Alice, mutton: mutton, Alice.
