What does SOWENS mean in Scrabble?
noun
ScotsIrish
A dish of porridge or pudding made by steeping oat husks in water until slightly sour, then boiling the liquid.
Sowens was a thrifty farmhouse food in Scotland and Ireland, made from the fine floury bits left on oat husks after milling. The husks were soaked for days, which let them ferment slightly, before the strained liquid was cooked into a thick, sharp-tasting dish. Despite the plural-looking ending, sowens takes a singular verb, and the form sowans is a variant of it.
