Finnan haddie
Smoked, salted haddock, favored in Scotland.

FARRO - Farro in Italian, this hard wheat is most often used in Tuscan cuisine. One of the hardest of all grains, it must be soaked for a long period before cooking, and is commonly used in soups and salads.

Synonyms: farro = dinkle = German wheat

Spelt - An often neglected wheat berry, overlooked in favor of those better suited to bread making. Spelt has a magnificent wheaty flavor. A very similar grain is the Italian grain farro.
