sea scallops are $28 per pound
Bacon wrapped ones are $29; that's expensive bacon!
bacon was priced at $29 per pound! This is a
product aimed at lazy shoppers who are bad at math.

Beg to doubt that your maths are correct.
If the bacon was $29/lb and the naked scallops were $28/lb
and one averaged the result the mind would boggle.

Plain scallops are $28; bacon is $6 and bacon wrapped scallops are
$29. The scallops got marked up $1 and the bacon got marked up $23.

You're not familiar with bacon wrapped large scallops?

I certainly am familiar with such. In many places they are called
rumaki.

Never anywhere I've eaten.

Rumaki are also made with poultry liver.

They are always made with chicken livers. Check out the guy who
invented them ... Don the Beachcomber who started the Tiki bar
phenomenon 3 years before Trader Vic made it famous. He's the guy who
invented the pu-pu platter, the Zombie, and the Mai Tai along with
Rumaki.

Scallops wrapped in bacon are called simply bacon wrapped scallops.

Chicken livers wrapped in bacon are called Rumaki.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Broiled Scallops and Bacon Hors D'oeuvres
Categories: Bacon, Scallops, Appetizers
Yield: 4 servings

1 lb Large sea scallops
1/3 lb Bacon

Remove any tough cartilage from the sides of the scallops, wipe
off any bits of shell and pat them dry. In a large frying pan,
partially cook bacon until it has released its fat but is still
limp and flexible; remove it to brown paper or paper towels and
drain it well. Cut the bacon pieces in halves or thirds so that
they are just long enough to wrap around a scallop with a slight
overlap. Wrap each scallop with a piece of bacon and secure the
wrap with a toothpick. Place the wrapped scallops on a rack that
is set in a baking pan and cook under a preheated broiler, turning
once, just until the bacon is crisp and the scallops are opaque.
Serve immediately.

Variations: Roll the scallops in pancetta or prosciutto instead of
bacon. Add something crunchy - drained water chestnuts, a length
of scallion or a thin slice of kohlrabi - next to the scallop
before rolling it in the bacon.

Brushing the scallops with soy or teriyaki sauce won't hurt them
either. -JW

Neither got marked up at all. The extra dollar is for the labour in pre-assembling the dish. Bv)=

That may be true - but a restaurateur will file the serial numbers off
of anything and sell it for a profit. Scallops and poultry liver are not
the only things offered as rumaki appetisers in the places I visit.

Agreed. Lose the pineapple.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: A Different Sort of Rumaki
Categories: Appetizers, Bbq, Shellfish, Chilies
Yield: 1 Servings

md Size prawns; fresh
Pepper Bacon (really really
- it makes a difference)
Full large head of garlic
Several lemons and limes
1 1/2 ts Dried red pepper

Peel and devein the shrimp. Marinate them with all the
garlic (peeled and crushed), the red pepper and enough
of equal amounts of fresh lime and lemon juice to cover
all the shrimp. Marinate in the 'fridge for 3-6 hours.
I usually do this in the morning and let them go all
day.

After marinating, drain the shrimp (If you are grilling
outside I recommend that you save the marinade and baste
with it) and cut the bacon strips in half. Wrap the
bacon around the shrimp and secure with a toothpick.
Either grill over mesquite basting with the reserved
marinade (the favored method) or broil in the oven.
You may pre-grill these and refrigerate, then warm
in the broiler prior to serving. In fact, I think
they even taste better that way!

NOTE: Marinading the shrimp/prawns in the citrus
cooks them as it would if you were making a ceviche.

Then they are wrong. That's like stewing pork and calling the
result Coq Au Vin.

I have seen scallop rumaki and shrimp rumaki in addition to the usual
chicken liver versions in Illinois, Oklahoma (Tulsa and Oklahoma City),
Texas, California, Colorado and Florida. You seem to be pretty much
confined to the provinces of Canadia.
