While I enjoy a good potato cake I love scallops :p
So you southern aussies (SA) can have your scallops & I'll stick to my scallops because my scallops are so much better than your scallops (which aren't really scallops).
Clear as mud really. :Y:
Rob.
PS So what do you SA people call sea food scallops?
 
In SA most fish n chip shops call potato scallops potato fritters or potato cakes and we call scallops of the seafood variety scallops just like you. Potato scallops seem to be a NSW thing.
Speaking of different names what about fish, mulloway in SA is referred to as butterfish, shark as flake.
Plus I love Chiko Roll from a fish n chip shop.
 
herring in WA is a tommy ruff in SA; callop in SA same as golden perch and yellow belly over the border; school bag in SA, Port over the border; bathers in SA, cossies or swimmers over the border. gets pretty confusing to overseas visitors.

I know what you mean Goldpick. I grew up in SA and when I started work in Vic in 2000, the locals kept saying I had a posh English accent?? No way I did.
I know stobie poles & kitchener buns, 8 ball, spoggies, fritz and yes Manpa the glorious value for money, double cut ham and salad roll, delicious.
In S.A. In the early days we used to have a roadie but here they call it having a traveller

So can we now call you Flowerposh or Mrs Posh :D :lol:.
 
But nothing beats a late night Pie & peas from Harry's Cafe'd Wheels after a few schooners. Remember it from old when it was outside the Garden island gates.

Oh... and Bung Fritz.. why Bung? Well that's what the Fritz was stuffed in, it was the right size. And for those who don't know, the Bung is the cleaned Colon, pig or sheep. :p :p
