Default Potato Cake or Scallop

This was a topic of debate in our house tonight

http://www.smh.com.au/national/austr...19-gl31n2.html

What are your thoughts
See heres the thing, I'm from Sydney and until I was in my late 20's I'd never set foot in VIC

But for mine it's

Potato Scallop
Cossie's (my kids call them swimmers)
Bubbler
Sausage Sanga (Snag Sanga is an acceptable alternative)
Nose Bleed (My kids just call it a bleeding nose)
Canteen
Pants
General Store / Takeaway (my kids called it a local shop)
Ice Block

and not mentioned but I've come unstuck south of the boarder

Kabab (delicious spinning log of meat shaved in to leb bread with lettus tomato onion, etc)
A piece of fish (Beer battered fish from the takeaway shop)

Mostly NSW centric but theres a few odd ones

Mostly NSW centric but theres a few odd ones
As a fellow resident of NSW;

1. Just "Scallops" eg - can I have half a dozen Scallops please
2. Cossies: tick - eg pack your Cossies kids were are heading to the beach
3. Nothing can ever replace "Sausage Sanga"!
4. Nose Bleed?? Maybe I've got a "blood nose" or, bloody hell, I'm in the nose bleed section again (ANZ Stadium)
5. Canteen = School Canteen
6. Pants: tick
7. Depends what you want to buy: Groceries = General Store or Fish & Chips = Takeaway
8. Ice Block: tick

As for the humble Kebab - As described first & I could do with one right now!!

Muslims are not allowed to eat pork but that does not mean they can't sell pork products to those of us who eat pork.

It's because of the rabbits....too many rabbits in the middle east.

The other one that has different interpretations in other states is beer. Schooner, middies, stubby, pots, throw downs etc.

We moved from vic to WA 9 years ago, potato scallops here and when you ask for dim sims they throw them in batter then deep fry them, lots of different words here, a Pot of beer in vic is a middy or handle here, ask for a slab and people are dumbfounded, gotta ask for a carton of beer, strange critters these born and bred WA lot!

Not necessarily, because there are savory cakes too, or what about a cake of soap?

My guess is that it reminded them of a pancake...they kind of look similar pre-cooked or when flat....kind of.

My point exactly Big Damo. Those people who say "its only a fish thing" seem to forget there are multiple meanings to "Cake" as there is "scallop"!!
