Since moving to Victoria a few years ago I keep getting strange looks when I looks when I ask for potato scallops at a fish and chip shop. Well today I found this and I'm vindicated!

I'm siding with the home town of NSW on this one. Victoria, the "potato scallops" have you vastly outnumbered! Give up now and call them what they are

(You'd be surprised that this actually comes up a bit )

potato cake eh? never seen one mixed up and baked in the oven....hardly a cake is it?

Chronos

edit: also, are you grouping yourself with Taswegians and sand gropers? Sad, very sad

[cavok]

When in Rome.

I'm surprised you find scallops anywhere, seems half the fish n chip shops I've seen have scollop or some other mangled word on the menu.

I've also never seen a wild potato scallop while scuba diving. Although you can make a cake from a potato, eg Boston Bun's

Scallop (/ˈskɒləp/ or /ˈskæləp/) is a common name that is primarily applied to any one of numerous species of saltwater clams or marine bivalve mollusks in the taxonomic family Pectinidae, the scallops. The common name "scallop" is also sometimes applied to species in other closely related families within the superfamily Pectinoidea.

We're not losing This one, we seem to have lost the great cantaloupe wars some time ago.

Let's not let the Northerners win this one.

Cake


Main ingredients Usually flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil

For other uses, see Cake (disambiguation).
Cake is a form of bread or bread-like food. In its modern forms, it is typically a sweet baked dessert. In its oldest forms, cakes were normally fried breads or cheesecakes, and normally had a disk shape. Determining whether a given food should be classified as bread, cake, or pastry can be difficult.

Modern cake, especially layer cakes, normally contain a combination of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil, with some varieties also requiring liquid (typically milk or water) and leavening agents (such as yeast or baking powder). Flavorful ingredients like fruit purées, nuts, dried or candied fruit, or extracts are often added, and numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients are possible. Cakes are often filled with fruit preserves or dessert sauces (like pastry cream), iced with buttercream or other icings, and decorated with marzipan, piped borders or candied fruit.[1]

Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified so that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.


also " It's applied to dishes to describe a style of cooking. There can be scalloped potatoes (the most well known), scalloped corn, scalloped tomatoes, etc. What all of these have in common is that they are cooked covered in bread crumbs or batter"


it also seems the term potato cakes refers more to an irish mashed potato dish more like a hash brown or a dutch potato pancake and not a slice of potato coated in bread crumbs or batter, maybe victoria received more than their share of irish convicts

Surely you've heard of potato bread? carrot cake.
I remember a certain poly's wife from north of the border who was famous for pumpkin scones.

[anthillinside]

Batter, made from flour & other ingredients .... Cake made from flour etc....
So what do you call Fish Cakes

[Noisydad]

You know there's a reason MacArthur was prepared to throw all those commie areas to the Japanese!

[anthillinside]

I'll bet you'll say Fish Patties
Who's keeping score here

[tom604]

potato fritters where i come from we dont stand for any of that new age scallop nonsense must be a geenie thing

[sbd3927]

Seems this should be settled at a shooting range. Whoever gets the most accurate hits on a potato cake/scallop at 600 and 1000 yards gets the naming rights for the country (well at least the forum) Can't help with that myself, but could for who eats the most

[Oldbloke]

You all have it wrong. I just renamed them "batteredspud". Now I win LOL

[cavok]

A most complex question as to the "name" given to a potato in batter, however as this is sunny Victoria and we are the best state, Potato Cake stands. The name obviously has no bearing to what is actually described by that name, but that's what we were calling it way back and nothing has changed here, except we now have more Kiwis who can't even speak English and those from northern sates who are all ex Victorians anyway.

[tom604]

ahhhh the sunny state with the river that runs upside down and like most "greenies" think that their views are the only ones that matter but as one of the only states not founded by convicted crims and riff raff the humble "fritter" is its name.

cake?? i think not!! potato trollops more like

[brett1868]

This is where the internet sucks, I searched potato scallop and got the appropriate picture and potato cake yielded different pics BUT bloody Wikipedia says that both names are for the same thing so potato scallop in NSW is what those south of the border Mexicans call potato Cake. I have to side with OldBloke and vote we call them battered spud

[Oldbloke]

I think the Kiwis call them scallops. So does that mean the commies from up north are copy cats too.

[Guliver]

I say we all need beer to wash those Potato Cakes down wit.

Take your pick. What the heck glass will we use?

Forget the glass size, there is only one beer in the world, Carlton Draught, hence the choice is easy.

[beerhog]

what do you potato scallop people call scalloped potatos?

[Chronos]

On par with xxxx and VB. (That's not a good thing)

Just because you can buy 30 cans for under 40 bucks doesn't make it good beer.

what do you potato scallop people call scalloped potatos?

Delicious!!!!!!

[cavok]

Obviously someone from NSW has never tried Carlton Draught, otherwise they would not put xxxx and VB (which no-one drinks other than others) or just has not got enough for a slab. Lol. Everything is on special sometime, just to temp the others from the north.

I have lived in Queensland almost 50 yrs and they have never been called a Schooner ,that was always a N.S.W thing !!!!!!

[sbd3927]

I spoke to someone who lives in London the other day. They still inflict Fosters on the poor sods, I guess we haven't forgiven them for Gallipoli yet (nor should we). Only ever drank it a couple of times, big hangover type headache within a few hours, without even getting tipsy.

[cavok]

The British should never be forgiven for Gallipoli, their stupid generals should be reduced to the rack of private, to most the British the lower ranks were just pawns and not regarded as people. If at first you don't succeed send the troops in again and again, all for no gain. Thank Godin Part for some Australian common sense. Stuff the Poms, let them drink slops.

[Westy]

And yet Cavok the Asshole the organised that little romp in the park became the sweetheart of the British public 30 yrs later!!Name that turd if you can????? Without Goggling it !!!! lets see how much we really know Ehhhhhhhhhhh

[Chronos]

not sure what history books you have been reading but the diggers that landed at Gallipoli did so under the command of an Aussie, not a Pom
