Pronunciation of Scallops

[TheShellBeach]

Just that, really.
Do you say "scallops" or "scollops"?

I know someone who says “dolphin nose” potatoes for dauphinoise 😁

We sometimes say dolphin-wise when we are being daft. Aka clever dolphins.

Scallions are spring onions!

Scalloped for the material, I have a scallop edged swimsuit.

I'm over invested in this now!

In the North West in the 50s I recall getting scallops from the chippy, it was a thick slab of battered potato, nothing fishy at all, posher places tended to serve two thinner slices of potato with a sliver of fish between them.
Scallops now tends to refer to the seafood and can be pronounced either, (or 'eether') way All countries have words whose pronunciation varies around the country, I wonder if their populations get as hung up about it as MN seems to??

I love the thought of Scottish people secretively discussing scalloped potatoes behind closed doors!

They are not something I've heard of before and I'm about as far south-east as you can get.

I'm 'scollop' by the way for both the seafood and the edging.

Yeah me too, that’s what I meant by ‘thing a bit like a fish cake’.

Like this .... Skoll op

I call this a fritter. Is this a potato scallop/scallop?

It's regional. The bivalves are scallops in Scotland and scollops in England.

@Cheeesus I meant the picture you'd posted wasn't a scallop. Sorry, it didn't pull through on the quote!

This. Also scallop when referring to a shape such as a scalloped edge on fabric or a rug.

I must be the only Scottish person who says scollop according to this. My family say scollop too though so I'm not alone I suppose.

Listened to this debate on "help i sexted my boss" podcast not too long ago, and William Hanson says Scollops 😁

Scallop for all three
The potato scallop, I think of as layered potato baked in a cream sauce
The battered thing is a potato fritter

Scollops for both.

Oh a scollop in a bread roll with BBQ from the chippy.

That is definitely a scallop/scollop. Or a scolly as we called them!

Scottish - ska- lops

Pronounced to rhyme with bollocks.

Scollop is the correct pronunciation.

Drives me nuts when people say scallop.

😂

I have to say that that sounds wonderful.

Scalups according to the OED!

...........................which is actually what DH and I are doing right at this moment.

scallops for the sea food and potato scallops for the potatoes

No. It’s scalloped potatoes. A potato scallop, round my way, is a circular thing, but like a fish cake.

I feel like I’m repeating myself.
