I wouldn't mind a crispy scallop right now! Potato fritters are grated potato + egg + stuff, wtf are these kiwi and crow boners talking about? When I hear potato cake I think of tattie scones.

Has a juicy midrange
Under-rated: front derailleurs, preferably paired to a triple-ring crank. It is entirely possible to have big total range and more than three gears in your particularly essential mid-range.
Over-rated: SRAM, but somehow they haven't yet managed to completely fuck up Rock Shox.
Overused: "Enduro". It's a race format, applicable to at least two branches of MTBing. It's not a bike type, helmet design, shoe style or any of that other shit that gets the "enduro" tag thrown at it.
Ironic: "long" 3x rear derailleurs being slammed as trail-sweepers, and cast aside for "shorter" derivatives, but with 1x and its pizza tray cassettes we have the biggest derailleurs ever seen. I can't run 12-sp. on my bike because the derailleur length is more than my wheel radius!

Now would be a good time for you to introduce "white bait fritters" into the conversation.

I've never baked a cake of soap either but it's still called a cake.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
White bait fritters are great though. No shame there

I'm not sure what kind of cake you're eating dude...but I have a bar of soap at my place. The only other name for it is ice cream, when you are in space.
Space madness. Probably the best episode.

When it's people food we call them sardines. When it's bait we call them pilchards. Then you have whitebait which is something else and isn't even any good as bait and is even less appealing as food. Any fish that is to small to gut is to small to eat.
