The Haven, Visit No. 2

No, it hasn't happened yet. But I've already decided what I'm going to order. It's Cullen Skink, a potato-thickened chowdery soup. In this incarnation, it will feature sunchokes and finnan haddie. What is finnan haddie, you ask?

Finnan Haddie is "smooked fesh," or cold-smoked Haddock fillets from the town of Findown. It's lightly salted, and soaking can remove even more salt. To watch a Scottish shaafe demonstrate a chitterin ressepeh fur Finnan Haddie, cleck heeyer.

And then I'll have a Belhaven stout, which is my new lover. And then I'll have an Alba Scots Pine ale for dessert. That's right. You heard me.
