COCK-A-LEEKIE TRIVIA

Cock-a-leekie, cock-a-leeky or cockie leekie, this is a Scottish chicken and leek soup dating back to medieval times. According to tradition, the loser of a cock fight would be tossed in the pot with some leeks and barley, and the spectators would all share the soup. Original versions were served with stewed prunes.
