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.

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)

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.
