I don't think anybody would eat it if you did.Can I use it in a food-related context? "grilled sheep bowels with lemon juice"?

It doesn't sound very appetising to me, but yes. Often, in a food context, unpleasant-sounding things are given euphemisms - don't know if there's one for 'bowels'. Perhaps the generic 'lights', or perhaps 'innards'...:?:

To be honest, ostap, it's not a dish I'd be tempted to order from a menu in a restaurant, or thank you for if you served it to me as a guest at your dinner table.
I'd rather just have the lemon juice.

It's more like fast food. You get it from a street-side stand like hot dogs.

Hog intestines as food are called "chitterlings" (pronounced CHIT-linz and often spelled "chitlins"). A Google search reveals that many people call sheep intestines as food "sheep chitterlings", which is much better than "bowels", which brings toilets to mind. A similar food word is, variously, "numbles", "umbles" or "humbles", which properly applies to deer only, and includes all the edible viscera. That's pretty rare.
