Oh scallops

[altariel]

Some of you may recall that while you were having a jolly time at Redemption, I was having a close encounter with a dodgy scallop in Dorset. Well, it turns out not to be scallops-particular but scallops-general. Or scallops-general-particular: I ate crab earlier this week and was completely fine, in fact it was very tasty. So it seems not to be shellfish per se, just... scallops. Although I've been eyeing prawns doubtfully in recent months.

Question, though: Is an allergy likely to be that specific (i.e. just scallops), or am I going to have to reconsider my whole strict mussels-and-lobster-thermidor regime?

Blast, though! I have always had the stomach of a concrete elephant! And: shellfish - yum!

Plus point: scallops a pleasing word to say and now I have an excuse to introduce it into conversation.
