The Chinese balloon jokes have been off the charts with this one.
Market research conducted by Arnott’s in 2020 revealed 45 per cent of Australians prefer to use the word ‘parmi’, over 34 per cent who say ‘parma’.
“Parmi is what we use here. The full word is parmigiana, so it makes sense.”
Chef and author of The Kitchen Think, Anthony Telford, says people who prefer to say ‘parma’ are “trying too hard to be colloquial”.
Ive thought about the potato cake/scallop debate.
Both are wrong.
Its not a cake, and a scallop is to ye olde english for what effectively is a slice of potato. We dont use the word scallop in that context.
Should be potato slices.
Also as scallop is a synonym for the sea creature it makes life simpler.
The only scallop at a fish n chip shop is the delightful seafood variety which should always be grilled fresh and never served deep fried or in a pie.
Well, he’s from NSW. I’d fully expect him to be wrong.

I did want to see the footage of him trying to sit down.
“Trying too hard to be colloquial” is a weird way of saying “right.”

There will be people out there who tell you this high fashion and beautiful. Morons.
You don’t appreciate art.
Parma obviously a Victorian thing.

Id expect albury wodonga to be able to settle the parmi parma debate.
If its the same in both towns id happily go with the consensus there.
Tweed heads to Coolangatta can settle Pot and Middie.
At the Lincoln over the border its Parmi.

Whenever someone pronounces it ‘parmyjarna’, I’ll concede they’re right.
Nobody does, though, so.

Should be battered potato slices if we are going to get technical.

Scallops (the seafood) are also a fish ‘n’ chip staple, so deliberately calling your battered potato just ‘scallops’ without the potato in front of it, is just irredeemably stupid.

I lived in NSW for a time, and once I asked for three scallops.
And on checking my order I was met with, ‘ohhhhh, you meant Tasmanian scallops?’
I mean, no?
I don’t care where they’re from, I just wanted scallops, thanks.
ffs.
It’s painful and i agree with you.
Not that a potato cake is a cake, its not.
A fish cake yes.(although it could be a fish pattie as well when you think about it)

Obviously they’re not cakes.
But in the term’s defence….Fish ‘N’ Chip Shops Do Not Also Sell Cake!
Personally i love them and will go with whatever the shop calls them.
And if i ran a fisho in nsw id have to call them potato scallop same with in victoria going with cake.
Also, the best potato cakes in the world were served 25 years ago at the Camberwell Railway Station at 7am when the temperature was 2° C or less.
I will not be taking notes on this.
