Wikipedia
sowens
Sowans or sowens (Scottish Gaelic: sùghan), also called virpa in Shetland, is a Scottish dish made using the starch remaining on the inner husks of oats after milling. The husks are allowed to soak in water and ferment for a few days. The liquor is strained off and allowed to stand for a day to allow the starchy matter therein to settle. The liquid part, or swats, is poured off and can be drunk. The remaining sowans are boiled with water and salt until thickened, then served with butter or dipped into milk. The flavour is distinctly sour.
Webster Dictionary
Sowens
a nutritious article of food, much used in Scotland, made from the husk of the oat by a process not unlike that by which common starch is made; -- called flummery in England
Etymology: [Scottish; cf. AS. sew juice, glue, paste.]
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Sowens
sō′enz, n.pl. (Scot.) a dish made from the farina remaining among the husks of oats, flummery.—Also Sow′ans.
