What does CULLIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A strong, clear broth made by boiling and straining meat or fowl, traditionally given to invalids or used as a base for other dishes.
Older cookbooks describe a cullis as a rich, concentrated stock, simmered for hours and strained until perfectly clear, then served alone as nourishing food for the sick or used to enrich a sauce or soup. The same word also names a gutter or channel, especially one running along the eaves of a roof to carry away rainwater, a completely separate architectural sense that shares only the spelling. Both uses have become rare, surviving mainly in older cookery books and historical descriptions of building construction.
