Powsowdie is a Scottish sheep's-head broth [1] [2] or soup. [3] [4] Traditional preparation of the soup includes sheep's trotters as an ingredient. [1] [5] Dried peas and barley can also be used as additional ingredients. [2] [6] Powsowdie has been described as a speciality dish in Edinburgh, Scotland. [7] Powsowdie is less popular and less known in contemporary times; it was more prominent during times when "all parts of an animal were used in cooking and nothing was wasted". [8] The National Library of Scotland included powsowdie in a 2015 food history exhibition named "Lifting the lid", which was an exhibit of historic Scottish recipe books that included example dishes. [8]
Etymology
"Powsowdie" has also been used as a term for "milk and meal boiled together" and as "any mixture of incongruous sorts of foods." [4] [9]
