    And potato cakes are potato cakes.

    Dont ask for potato cakes in NSW, they wont know what your talking about.
    Here a scallop is a slice of potato dipped in batter and deep fried.
    THE scallop is that sea food thing like a mussel or oyster.

    You obviously were never introduced to Tasmanian Scallops.
    I used to get Battered Tasmanian Scallops at Liverpool Railway Caravan after shift work at C M A. A gift from heaven.

    Many years later I traded in Pickled, fresh and frozen Scallops to the Pubs, Clubs and privately around the ACT.


    Just to set the record straight:-

    In parts of Australia cakes are very common in shops where they are sometimes called
    Potato cakes originate from northern England and are common in fish and chip shops there. This variant is normally a thick slice of potato, dipped in batter and fried, with no additional flavouring added except salt. , which are also widely available, are distinctly different.

    Sorry Cobber,
    I forgot about this, but you can change the Title of your post, but I don't think it reflects on the actual listing.

    It may depend on how quickly you do it.

    When you go to edit, select "Go Advanced".

    That is only possible, as with all editing for about 24 Hrs.
