In the words of our wise captain, John Manion, “White people love brunch, scallops and Wu-Tang.” But there’s another word association game we can play with Scallops: beauty, love. Scallops, might be so beloved because they’re one of the most romantic dishes out there. The iconic Botticelli image (pictured below, kids) depicts the goddess of love, Venus, riding a scallop shell onto shore after her birth into this world as the picture of perfection.
Like our friend, Botticelli, we admire the beauty in things such as scallops and ride ‘em straight to your plates. The best part about it? Spark up a conversation about the romance behind them and you’ve got yourself a first date ice breaker. Paired with savory pork, citrus, arugula, on a bed of carrot puree, this scallop dish serves up a perfect blend of romance and spark. Take a chance and try it out and maybe your date won’t wait three days to call you back.
