Not knowing what a particular dish that you’ve never seen before doesn’t make you dumb.
I have no idea what scalloped potatoes is, I’ve never had it. Maybe it means they bake scallops inside a potato? I have no idea. I’ve never had scallops either, I take it they’re a type of sea food, but as I’ve never run into them I assume they’re not for the working class.
Not everybody can live a fancy lifestyle, or live somewhere where scallops and other fancy foods are affordable for normal people.
So, when they hear of a dish with scallop in the name, it’s not “dumb” to think that it may have scallops, a food they’ve never seen, in it.
Pretty sure scalloped doesn’t necessarily mean to bake in cream sauce. It refers to the way they are cut - concentric circles or semi circles to look like scallops (the fish). So although they may look like scallops, there’s no fish in the dish at all.
yeah the meme is stupid, I watch cooking youtube a lot, like a lot lot and I have never heard of Scalloped potatoes, but I have seen some scallop recipes so I would have assumed they are indeed connected.
this is like calling someone dumb for thinking Stamford Bridge is a bridge and not knowing it’s a football stadium.
just don’t call people stupid for not knowing things that might be obvious to you (unkess they say shit like vaccines cause autism, but even then try to approach with empathy first)
Stamford bridge is also a bridge though. And the location of a very important battle in English history. If you’re not a football fan, you might be familiar with the battle but not the stadium (as was my case).
I think this example is more like if she thought scalloped potatoes involved scallops, but there were actually 2 dishes called scalloped potatoes, one of which does involve scallops
The vaguely intelligent will inquire about something they don’t know out of curiosity rather than assuming they already have enough information and making decisions based on that.

First of all, scallops are gross anyway. Second of all, got any plans for tonight?
Scallops are the best food
Yeah OP is about to get railed
‘Scalloped’ means baked in milk or some other cream sauce. I don’t disagree with you, I’m just telling you. There’s no scallops in scalloped potatoes.
I am surprised you’ve never had scallops, though. They’re cheaper than crab. You can get a pound for like $10 at Kroger.
What’s a Kroger?
A grocery store
Largest chain in the usa

Bro really was able to victimise themselves with a short meme 💀
Enjoy it for what it is, my friend - a shitpost.
