We stopped for lunch at Deacon Brodie's Tavern in Edinburgh. Simon and Sarah joined us. Bill likes to tease me about disgusting food sometimes and he kept telling everyone I was going to have the Cullen Skink. He commented that Cousin Frank had ordered this when we all met for dinner -- seems very long ago now. Just out of spite, when the waitress took our orders, I did go for the Cullen Skink, even though the name made me think of smelly skunk. It was amazingly good -- 'poor folks' food' often is.
Bill was rather envious, actually. I did find it a bit rich, made with cream and all. I let him finish the last little bit, so he got to have an adventure as well.
Should you decide to make it, here is a recipe.
Enjoy!

Do Baxters still make Cullen Skink in a tin? I used to love that, for a treat, although I know what you mean about it being a bit creamy. With a piece of toast, it really was a complete dinner. Yum! Perfect for this time of year.
Gosh, I've never looked for that in the supermarket before. I think I shall have to do that and surprise Bill sometime. He's always saying he prefers his soup to be 'hearty' (I think that means 'thick').
