avert your eyes, vegetarians, the Shiksa eats animals (though she does pause when it comes to poultry).
To the left is a picture of a braised and stuffed (with rice) lamb neck we were served for lunch at El Baboor. I actually wanted to order a sort of pot pie I saw at another table, but the good waiter convinced us we were VIP's, and we fell for it, so we agreed to the mac daddy entree: neck.
Notice the steamy rice in there? The dish came to the table and I momentarily regretted our choice (mostly because it was gigantic for lunch). One look at the inside, however, and I was placated. And once I tasted the tender/moist/succulent meat, I was in heaven. CSJ too.
The spine itself (the bones) were pretty cool, as you can see. The spinal cord made me gag, but I was able to continue eating after I hid it under some rice. All in all our neck experience was fantastic. Though I must suggest you have it for dinner, not lunch (unless you're not planning to eat dinner that day).
El Baboor is in Umm El Fahm. Don't turn right into the town, stay on 65 towards Afula and the restaurant will be on your left, up a sort of hill. You'll see the sign. Holy cow I'm giving directions like my mom.
