I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I didn't want to make this thread but I'm two bottles into a six pack of Pelican Double IPA and absolutely wrecking Into The Breach on Steam and have the self control of a virulent atheistic Sunday-schooler.

I honestly just want threads about other threads about other threads to be The New Meta.

I’m scared and confused by this thread.

I think I’m starting to understand. So; if I make a thread about this thread; I’ll be the new meta? Right?

I, also, have had a beer or two. Taxi for one!

Embrace it. Coagulate with it. Melt INTO the butteriness. FEEL the scallops slather into a briny, seafood-y pleasure-dome of joy. Everything is one. Fear is the Universe's way of saying "dive headlong into the fray".

You have no idea how much this made me want a seafood pizza...

I agree with your cat.

Now I want scallops, but in red sauce over rice.

Could X-wing be a delicious plate of calamari? Or would we need Admiral Ackbar for that to happen?

Now scallops you sauté in butter and serve in an almost perfectly crispy pre-baked ring of bacon, and a Guinness or two on the side?

then I’m so in!

.....I’ll even share one with the cat ?

.....maybe.

Obviously, this thread has already started to warp the meta, and needs to be nerfed in the next Forum FAQ. We should now start at least 4 threads on the merits of nerfing, and at least as many supporting this thread's diversity for the forum meta.

I think scallops should be nerfed.

Let me know if you figure out a way to convince your cats of the truth. I am at my wits end.

In a way, they are too.

Totally broken. But I'm in.

So, when I was living in Denmark, I used to make a shrimp-bacon pasta salad for breakfast.

So what you do, is fry up some bacon, toss in the shrimp to cook them in the bacon fat for a while, a bit of garlic for flavor, then pour heavy cream over them. Add herbs to your liking, and cook for a few minutes, just for the flavours to cook together. Then remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Then, you start cooking pasta, I chose seashell shaped ones, because they have these cavities the creamy bacon-y sauce will fill up nicely.

While your pasta is cooking, chop your vegetables. I chose spring onions, leeks, red onions, and bell peppers (mostly for color).

Once your pasta is cooked, I prefer a bit tougher than al-dente, because it will soak up a lot of moisture, and soften up in the process. But you can overcook it as well, that has it's charm... an oversalted overcooked pasta salad when you have a hangover is JUST the thing you need, anyway. I got sidetracked. So once your pasta is cooked, you strain it, and rinse it with cold water.

Then your assembly starts.

Mix everything together, add sour cream and mayo to taste(some proper mayo please, this is going into your mouth). Chives for internet points.

Toss it in the fridge overnight (but at least 4 hours).

You heard it right.

That combo is Seafood, Bacon and Breakfast at once.

The most broken thing ever released.

It decimates everything else.

There is no counter.

There is no escape.

There is only Bacon-Shrimp Pasta Salad.

OBEY!

I entered this topic hoping to see valiant Rebel or disciplined Imperial pilots facing the menace of the Giant Space Kitty.

I leave disappointed.

Indeed.

Based on what I have read so far this thread has a very real opportunity to reach 100+ pages.

Guys I found two scallop recipes and there's lots of disagreement over which is best.

Light side up Scallops

There is no scallop without garlic

Through chilli I gain spice

Through olive oil I gain fried edges

Through lime I gain kick

Through chopped parlse I gain a fresh finish

There is only the Sauce.

DARK Soy Scallops

Lime is a lie there is only Soy

Through Soy I add pepper flakes,

Through these I add black pepper,

Through pepper I add sesame oil,

Through oil I add balsamic vinegar

Through this my taste buds are broken.

So which recipient sounds best?

Can we slow this down for a moment to remember that Scallops are just the new meta, and just last year people were crying that Snow Crab was OP for direct drawn butter delivery and a NEE (negative eating experience) because you had to crack them open? This is clearly Crustacean Creep, and needs to be addressed in a FAQ (**** Another Quandary).

Scallops are fine. It's scallops combined with bacon that's so OP. It pushes a lot of other seafood out of competitiveness. Ruins diversity. We need an errata making bacon unique, so you can't have more than one. Then if you focus down the one scallop with bacon, it possible you can compete with the rest of the plate
