Slinneanachd
Slinneanachd is a kind of divination formerly practiced in Scotland. The practice is now extinct.
It involved inspecting the shoulderblades of an animal (usually a carcass), and according to one version, one had to eat the flesh of the animal without touching the bone with tooth or nail.[1]
