Scallop

Scallops are a popular seafood dish that can be found in many restaurants. They are also a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. While scallops are often thought of as a modern dish, they have a long history.

The first recorded scallop recipe dates back to the 1st century AD. This recipe, which was found in a cookbook called Apicius, called for scallops to be cooked in a sauce made with wine, mustard, and cumin.

While this early recipe is not exactly like the scallop dishes we know today, it shows that scallops have been enjoyed for centuries. Since then, scallops have been cooked in a variety of ways.
