Not knowing what a particular dish that you've never seen before doesn't make you dumb.

I have no idea what scalloped potatoes is, I've never had it. Maybe it means they bake scallops inside a potato? I have no idea. I've never had scallops either, I take it they're a type of sea food, but as I've never run into them I assume they're not for the working class.

Not everybody can live a fancy lifestyle, or live somewhere where scallops and other fancy foods are affordable for normal people.

So, when they hear of a dish with scallop in the name, it's not "dumb" to think that it may have scallops, a food they've never seen, in it.

First of all, scallops are gross anyway. Second of all, got any plans for tonight?

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Scallops are the best food

Yeah OP is about to get railed

'Scalloped' means baked in milk or some other cream sauce. I don't disagree with you, I'm just telling you. There's no scallops in scalloped potatoes.

I am surprised you've never had scallops, though. They're cheaper than crab. You can get a pound for like $10 at Kroger.

[-] Soulfulginger@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure scalloped doesn't necessarily mean to bake in cream sauce. It refers to the way they are cut - concentric circles or semi circles to look like scallops (the fish). So although they may look like scallops, there's no fish in the dish at all.

yeah the meme is stupid, I watch cooking youtube a lot, like a lot lot and I have never heard of Scalloped potatoes, but I have seen some scallop recipes so I would have assumed they are indeed connected.

this is like calling someone dumb for thinking Stamford Bridge is a bridge and not knowing it's a football stadium.

just don't call people stupid for not knowing things that might be obvious to you (unkess they say shit like vaccines cause autism, but even then try to approach with empathy first)

Stamford bridge is also a bridge though. And the location of a very important battle in English history. If you're not a football fan, you might be familiar with the battle but not the stadium (as was my case).

I think this example is more like if she thought scalloped potatoes involved scallops, but there were actually 2 dishes called scalloped potatoes, one of which does involve scallops

Bro really was able to victimise themselves with a short meme 💀

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Enjoy it for what it is, my friend - a shitpost.

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

The vaguely intelligent will inquire about something they don't know out of curiosity rather than assuming they already have enough information and making decisions based on that.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago

It was at that moment "where". Peas in a pod.

[-] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

That's how she knew he was dumb enough to sleep with her

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 17 points 10 months ago

I went on a date once and was talking about my garden, I mentioned not particularly caring for flowers other than to attract pollinators.

She said "wtf is pollination?"

Ummm... Did you skip 3rd grade? Lol I could forgive that, but then she started talking about stealing shit from some "annoying guy" at a bar.

She's definitely stupid enough to sleep with me, but I have to live with myself every day after that. Lol

[-] Apex_Fail@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Man, I had this happen back in college. Went on a date where she thought tiramisu sounded gross because of "lady fingers".....

So she ordered the "cream brooly".

[-] pythonoob@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

Had a girl ask me once if I was super religious just because I knew that AD = anno domini = in the year of our lord.

I don't think I even knew how to respond.
