Thread: Bum nuts and chickens in pyjamas: the words Australians use for food

We call them potato scallops here in Sth aussie too. Why- because they are scalloped.

There are several differences in (not just) food terms between the states. Every state calls it's beer measures something different!

What we call mulloway, when battered and fried is called butterfish. It's pretty ubiquitous here. In the eastern states they call it jewfish, or dhufish (PC). In WA, the dhufish is an entirely different species.
