Cullen Skink (I just love this)

That is an interesting name for a cream soup. What's the story behind the name?

Also, I have heard of Bubble & Squeak for years but never really knew what it was! Now I know.

I see you enjoy your fish...you have chosen it quite a few times. It's good for ya! as well as tasty

I wonder if the American Pecan Pie was really "American"?

Cullen is a place in Scotland where the soup comes from and Skink is a Scottish word for soup.

Yes I love fish, and it's usually a much lighter meal than the meat dishes.

Bubble and Squeak is named after the noises it makes when cooking

Thanks for the explanation, Stephen!

It's always interesting to learn about how certain dishes got their name.

With all of those wonderful choices how could anyone be unhappy?
I'd love to try some of those dishes that I have never had before.
Maybe next year we can find a Cunard cruise that strikes our fancy.
