Called potato scallops or fritters in the UK but more likely to find them in the Midlands and up North.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Chips, potato scallop, scratchings and curry (the thick, neon-coloured stuff, not the thin stuff with bits in). The meal of champions. 136% carbohydrates.

We have fritters up here, slices of battered potato. Don’t if it’s the same thing.
Fritters, chips and curry sauce is my go to hangover cure.

Re: Mussels
Yup, deep fried slice of battered potato, the addition of curry sauce sounds like excellentness to me.

Confused the hell out of me when I first arrived in the UK and ordered ‘scallop’ at the Chippie

Re: Mussels
I love mussels but love oysters more. Best I ever had we’re in Seattle, although curiously Whitby was also excellent.
That said, you can’t beat a mushy pea fritter.
