Roys Sheep Dip, also known as Testicular Wine, is a traditional British dish made with sheep or lamb testicles. It is believed to have originated in Scotland, where it was traditionally served as a celebratory dish after a successful sheep shearing. The dish is prepared by first soaking the testicles in cold water to remove any blood or impurities. They are then coated in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper, before being fried in hot oil until golden brown. The testicles are then served with a dipping sauce, typically made from red wine, vinegar, and spices.

SHEEP DIP (SHEEP DIP!)
This is from Ireland. Now I'm not sure when Ireland started making feta and ricotta cheeses but it's intro reads: "Cheeses made from sheep's milk are quite popular in Ireland, and this tasty concoction uses two - feta and ricotta. Whether your feta and ricotta come from the milk of sheep, cows, or goats, the mixture will be delicious."

2-INGREDIENT RO*TEL® BEAN DIP
I came up with this RO*TEL® bean dip recipe when trying to throw together some football snacks in a pinch. It's not thick like the kind of bean dip you buy in a can, it's more like the deliciously thin version served alongside bowls of salsa in Tex-Mex restaurants. It may not be gourmet, but it sure is fast and tasty!

FRESH SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP (AKA SHEEP DIP)
Adapted from Best of the Best from Colorado, this recipe is so named, according to their description, because the recipe poster's father was a sheep rancher. This is supposedly a best selling recipe on the menu at River City Cafe in Colorado. I have not tried this yet, but since any spinach dip calling for fresh spinach appeals to me, I wanted to share it. This is very different from the usual spinach dips. I have never seen another version quite like this one. I am guessing at the cook time, which I will update once I try this. This makes enough dip for your whole herd! ;). To me, this is perfect football party food!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat. For sheep dip, a shoulder or leg of lamb works well.
- Marinate the meat overnight in a mixture of red wine, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the meat over a low heat for a long period of time. This will help to ensure that the meat is cooked through and tender.
- Baste the meat regularly with the marinade or a mixture of olive oil and water. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Serve the sheep dip with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.
