asian run chip shops and potato scallops...

[Simmo]

im not being racist but they CANNOT do a potato scallop right. i absolutely love the things but every little corner store or chip shop run by asians gets it wrong. funnily enough they can do a wicked pasta at every place ive seen too. anyone else seem to think they cant get a good meal on the go nowadays?

How do they do your potato scallops Simmo?

Actually, going slightly off topic, back to another thread about different states having different names for things, this is another one.

First time I went to a Fish and Chip shop here, and asked for two potato cakes, and they looked at me really weird, until I pointed to what I wanted, to which they then replied "Oh, you mean potato scallop"....

It's bloody hard to find a decent chew'n'spew these days.

sure is Des. and i like my scallops to be edible. not caked in 3 feet of batter, deep friend for an hour and a half then the inside magically hardened to within microns of the breaking point of my teeth.

Spent my youth growing up in Boondall. There was a good shop across from the state school on Sandgate Rd. Don't know what it's called now, but last time I was visiting family it was still there and not a bad feed. I'll be back up in Bris-Vegas at Easter, I'll have to look around and find a good 'un.

Rather than whinge about it, why not tell them how you would like it... they would happily give you what you want ....

That's right - pretty smart people those Asian cooks. Last story I heard of a European suggesting how they can do better was a food inspector in Hong Kong who objected to the Chinese practice of inflating ducks by putting your mouth on the open end (for want of a better description) and blowing, so they let him suggest a better way. So this food inspector puts the duck under his arm, gets the hose from the reverse end of a vacuum cleaner, puts it in the duck, turns it on and....the duck inflates in one microsecond, then explodes, spreading the duck and the inspector's uniform all over the inside of the restaurant.

sorry sourbastard for posting in the bar which has this caption,

"For non Automotive Related Chat".

this is the exact reason we have a bar forum, to keep this random stuff out of the pub and everywhere else. i'll bet if i had a clevo you wouldn't have had a issue.

[Simmo]

im jsut saying on the whole i feel that the clevo owners have little/no respect for the younger, usually eseries owners, on this forum and that shows. this is just MY opinion which i feel i have to state all the time too.

Yes that one was a hum dinger, but on a whole it was atleast entertaining, for us, not for cruizinEB and his itchy ring of fire.

I heard you don't even own a car that's half decent. Isn't that right SB.

And they are called potato fritters....why??? because they are a fritter. scallops are those little sea creatures that you eat and make you sick if certain fish shops don't cook them right.
