You are wrong my friend

It's a Scallop. The name comes from the way the potato is cut, into a thin round sliver. This comes from the French, Escallop, and was used in a dish called gratin Dauphinois. This type of potato was originally steamed and then cooked in cream sauce. But the Dauphinois was cut the layered raw in a baking dish and covered with cram, cheese, herbs and spices. But the batter version comes from two sources. Russian Jews and Scots. They both use the French method of escalloping the potato. Potato is only a new thing to Europe, a matter of about 600 years as it is native to the Americas. I wonder what American Indians call them, although Americans call them fritters, which probably came from the Russian Jews who settled there.

Did you know that the plural of Octopus is Octopuses and not Octopi?

you're squidding

Scallop is a fish

Exactly, well not a fish but a mollusc. A potato scallop is deliberately shaped like the shell of a scallop

Correct. It is from the Greek, not the Latin

At the risk of getting blasted, potato cakes/scallops are good, but they don't beat the potato gems! That goes well with anything

[Bloods86]

Today I learned that we exported a Barnacle Bills to Penrith, and on behalf of South Australia, my sincere apologies to anyone who has eaten there.

I think you are taking this thread way off course, Bedders.

 

[wills2g]

why would anyone eat potato cakes or scallops when you can fry potatoes into hot chips or fries and taste 1000x better

If it's based on the original post, is it really off topic?
