[quote user="Phil Collins"]Can anyone confirm that they are actually putting prawns in batter and then passing them off as scampi?[/quote]

 

A Dublin Bay Prawn is a Scampi. A well known fact. But is a Dublin Bay Prawn an actual Prawn? That is less certain. And when does a Shrimp become a prawn? Questions, questions....

Lapps this is no time for mirth it''s a serious issue down the Carra

GPB, a Dublin Bay Prawn is more of a Langoustine than a prawn. The Langoustine is a relative of the Lobster family, its also known as Norwegian Lobster.

Ron I was under the impression that decent scampi was Langoustine, and the crap every day junk was cat fish ? is that not the case ?

[? 0]

Whole tail scampi should be Langoustine, I have heard of reformed Prawns being used as Scampi but that''s not proper is it!!! I wonder if the Gunn Club use the genuine article or an imposter?? The plot thickens and this obviously needs serious investigation!

[Van wink 2,994]

"reformed Prawns"

Going straight

Yep, a couple of months at Borstal puts them right!

Any hipster will tell you, Crayfish tails are the way to go.

Thanks Ron. I am a big fan of Langoustine , and hadn''t made the Dublin Bay connection. As for the Catfish reference , that would be typical of my Gunn Club experience I''m afraid. Second rate.

Tartar sauce for the scampi

Both Scampi and Chips from the Cash and Carry.

I am pleading with the fans any protest before,during or after the Derby game must also include this issue around the scampi 🍤

How the hell are you going to chant something including:

"Contravening the Fish Labelling (Amendment) England Regulation 2005 and Schedule 1 of the Food Labelling Regulations 1996."

Much easier to chant "you''re gonna get your furcan head kicked in".

6 and a half pieces today

Somebody sent me a photo of it mate.......shameful state of affairs.

The scampi portions were always better under Paul Lambert

[quote user="TIL 1010"]Somebody sent me a photo of it mate.......shameful state of affairs.[/quote]

Now I''m no policeman, John - but from that picture, it looks to me extremely likely that there were in fact another 4 pieces of Scampi occupying our top right hand side of the bowl, thus the recipient actually did receive the full 10 pieces... 😉

[Alex Moss 2,165]

...Or maybe 2 or 3 pieces - not sure if that''s a 7 or a 8 portion reformed scampi meal?. Nobody likes a small portion, at least none of the girls I''ve met anyway.

[quote user="The Unsullied "]6 and a half pieces today

He then gave thanks for the meal, broke the bread, and gave it to His

disciples to give to the crowd. Amazingly, the entire multitude was fed

with that small meal. Jesus provided “as much as they wanted” (John 6:11), and “they all ate and were satisfied” (Matthew 14:20).

Christ did not just meet the need; He lavished them with so much food

that there were “twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish”

left over (Mark 6:43)."You need to get yourself to church Waveney. All they could eat and still some left over. [:D]

I fear that chicken nuggets are being disguised as scampi.

More to the point, was the heating working in the Gunn Club[:^)]

[Duncan Edwards 2,222]

Ate in the Gunn Club and was served up with a delicious 17-piece Scampi feast.

Maybe they think you need fewer pieces?
