Herd,

Apparently impossible to find here in the cultural backwater where a Big Mac is considered fine cuisine.... the masses settle for the dollar menu.

Oh, and the local steak house that bragged of steak so tender they do not put knives on the table. I had to threaten to scream and upchuck if they did not get me a knife to saw through the subpar slab of dead cow.

The sheep around me obeyed their masters as they fought their slabs, some using spoons and their fork to create bite-sized nodules.

Stoopid humanz.

Anyway.

Scalloni. Yum. Had it a few times out in California over the years. Yum.

"Processed abalone and scallops in cutlet form"

Basically, grab some abalone and mash it up. Grab some scallops and mash them up. If they weren't dead when you start they assuredly are after beinf mashed and smashed.

Blend the two dead critters together, smash some sort of really thin breading upon the dead creatures, then pan fry them, I think.

Sure is tasty!!!!!

Of course, the place you go to may do it differently and will not taste as yummy.

A little sole proprietership in a small farming town in California's central valley is where I had my scallone over the years. Had it last January during that visit. Yum.

Kinda' "rich." You wouldn't want to over-eat since the tummy may rebel. Kinda' like bacon; if I eat too much of it it causes discomfort. May just be my Old Coot gut that is no longer built of cast iron.

Really looking forward to eating it again this June. Yum.

Will likely have it a couple times.

By the way, if the Mori unit has not see this site well, gustatory Nirvana for some:

Of course, if Mori ambled over he's likely get them talking about the lubricating qualities of various non-stick sprays and the OCI of deep fat fryers.

Oh. Along with mentioning a yummy edible Coot curious as to who else has imbibed the scalloni stuff and what y'all thought about it.

Kinda' makes the arduous struggle down the new modern Oregon Trail with a turn-off that generally follows the Donner Party path a wee bit less tiresome knowing that scalloni awaits at the end.

Burp.

Yum.
 
Maybe so. I do count the limbs of all critters before I consider them for metabolic combustion. They must have four legs, or two legs and two wings, or any number of fins. Things with exoskeletons are a definite no-no, although I do eat shrimp if I'm hungry and if there is nothing else (How could that happen?). Don't care for shrimp taste and texture at all, though.
 
Yah' gots a point there.... surprising how many humanoids eat with glee what are basically underwater insects.
 
But he was all wrong about swine!

Somewhere along the line I developed a mori for mushrooms. The texture mainly. I mean I like the meaty flavor of a porcini, but despise that squishy bite of sauteed farm mushrooms, for example. I won't always take them out of food, but I've seen perfectly good meals ruined with mushrooms.

I have no issues with yeast enhanced products.....

Back on topic.

I was born in Victoria, Australia.
fish and Chips are the best in the country (sorry sprintman, but head to Daylesford, and get some flake). Part of the experience is battered scallops.

we can but now, courtesy of the Japanese, frozen scallops.

Scallops as they appear in nature, have irregular sizes, and the orange roe can be big or little, or irregular in colour depending on the shellfish harvested.

Loving conformity, the Japanese frozen scallops are all cookie cutter sized, with a specially sized/coloured roe "edge" to the breaded, standard sized critters.

I guess the offcuts get pressed into cutlet form, and sent to California
 
Ah but your waters are not as clean as ours and we don't have all the diseases America and Euorope has. That's why we have have the best food on the planet and why Japan buys more of of our product then anyody elses. Sad for all of you but true. Geez it's good to live here..s
 
Our diseases can whip your wimpy diseases with one uhhh... phalange tied between their back.
 
If you've been to Oz you know the first they do when the plane lands is let in the man with 'the sprays' and then reclose the door. He walks up and down the aisle spraying everbody to kill any bugs you have travelling with you. I kid you not..s

Is that the same government agency that sprays you as you come out of the local cat houses?
