Cultured Palate: Dishes from Scotland
| November 8, 2017
Cullen Skink
Cullen skink is a delicious soup that’s a perfect belly-warmer on a cold day – and in Scotland, there tend to be many. It’s one of many Scottish dishes with names that sound a bit funny to our ears, but Cullen is simply the town where the soup originated, and skink is a Scottish Gaelic word for soup made with meat.
Cullen skink is made of smoked haddock, potatoes, and onions. It’s similar to an American seafood chowder. If you want to sample authentic Cullen skink, head to the tiny town of Cullen, along the North Sea coast.
