[Sca-cooks] scalloped potatoes and corn

[margaret]

The term derives from the use of a scallop (shell) shaped dish used to bake 
oysters and other shellfish in milk or a sauce and often topped with 
breadcrumbs.  The name of the dish became transferred to the method of 
cooking around the early 18th Century.
