An argument broke out between a few people who seem to have mistaken the main article for a talk page, regarding whether potatoes can be a dessert or not. I have no position on the matter, but while the exchange was entertaining, it had no place in the article. Amezuki (talk) 23:54, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Potato scallop vs potato cake

I would dispute the use of 'potato scallop' as a version of 'potato cake'. In the north of England at least, a potato scallop is a thick slice from a large potato coated with batter, deep fried, and sold hot. A potato cake is made from grated or finely chopped potato, and is available from bakeries and supermarkets, and sold cold. (In Wigan, the potato scallop may be referred to as a 'smack', as I found out in a slightly confused conversation when I was trying to buy one in a chip shop there.)

I agree. And in the West Midlands too, a "scallop" is a thick slice of potato fried in batter. Narky Blert (talk) 16:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
