Yeah, that’s not the way you lot cook them either.

They’re also not a boneless piece of meat in sauce you uncultured northern swine.

No, that’s why it’s a POTATO scallop, not a BONELESS MEAT scallop.

JJJ had a poll about the right way to call deep fried spud rounds, and Australia voted scallop.









We won’t mention the potato “fritter” crowd.

scalloping is the way you cut them.
FFS, next we'll be letting the Crow-Eaters in with their bloody "Potato Fritters' rubbish.
