OMG…scallops! You’re making me miss my husband even more….he being the one in Maine and me being the one 560 miles south of there. The man has a way with scallops (fresh off the boat when he was here scalloping) and with clam fritters (also fresh when we’re in Maine and he/I hand harvest them) The scallops in your photo look delicious!

Now, I’m getting homesick… Let’s face it, people, French food just has an edge no other food can come near! (Was that a tiny bit arrogant? ahem… )

Hopefully, they won’t be told that ketchup is a vegetable serving!
I think, with “typical” American food, it’s more regionalized. Here, in New England (esp. Maine) lobster is a big deal, along with scallops and clams (fried or in a cream & potato chowder that can hold your spoon upright!)
It’s amazing what passed for lunch from the cafeteria at school during those early childhood days: American chop suey, a slice of board-like pizza, and yes…that timeless classic – the Salisbury Steak! No wonder I was known for bringing peanut butter & jelly sandwiches to school almost every day!
