This trip to Mildura seems to have been kept fairly on the downlow. Hopefully the local Roos fans were made aware of it.
 
What do you call a flat slice of pineapple covered in batter and deep fried?

It's not a pineapple cake.
It's not a pineapple scallop.

Put aside your parochial bias and deep down you'll know the truth.

There's one and only one objectively and undeniably correct nomenclature for the little fried bit of potato gold that we all know and love.

Search your hearts. You know I'm right.
You didn’t say a pineapple cake/scallop you said potato fritter 🤨

Its a potato to cake, a pineapple thingy is a fritter
 
FWIW lads the fried potato thingy originated in Eastern Europe and spread with emigration. They have dozens of names across Europe including potato cakes or rosti (Swiss origin) or latkes (Jewish) in England, potato farls in Northern Ireland, boxty in the Republic and tattie scones in Scotland. The ‘cake’ nomenclature seems to originate in Germany. Nowhere are they called potato fritters as far as I can see but I do get the logic. All hail 🥔 diversity.
 
Honestly just scrolled past and assumed Nostrils made this post

That pesky marketing team!
Ouch!

Yeah, my bad. I only really get my news through here and hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere. But I guess it’s in the AFLW thread which I haven’t looked at since Saturday night.

What do you ask for when you go to the fish n chip shop?

are we officially called the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos?

Does this mean next year we become the North Melbourne Western Australian Kangaroos?
