Talk:Scampi

message: The open sentence "Scampi is a culinary preparation of Nephrops norvegicus" reinforces the US perception that 'Scampi' is a recipe for shrimp as opposed to a specific species of crustacean. I'd like to see something to the effect that "Scampi" is the Italian word for Nephrops norvegicus, and that it grows in the Adriatic as well as the North Atlantic.

message: I amended the article to reflect the fact that quite often if you ordered scampi in the UK, you will get prawn (or reformed prawns) in batter or breadcrumbs and not necessarily lobster tail. However, this was reverted. I do not wish to get into an edit war so I won't put it back again. But surely the article should reflect the truth? And that is if you order scampi in the UK, you might often get prawn as the filling.  IndieSinger (talk) 16:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted it because scampi in the UK has a legal definition.  If you are served it made from prawns, you should contact trading standards Thedarxide (talk) 17:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Langoustine is another name for the same type of lobster.  It's correct Thedarxide (talk) 19:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Contents of scampi in the UK

message: I had thought about merging the two articles, but decided against it, instead keeping the 'Norway lobster' article focused on the creature itself, while the 'Scampi' article describes the dish (covering both the original dish of Norway lobster and its variants using different lobsters, or shrimp). Hope this is a satisfying arrangement! --Spudtater 11:10, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Scampi]] and [[Norway lobster]]

message: Should it be mentioned that it is a very common dish in most English Public Houses? seeing as how this page refers to the meal itself. TheTrojanHought (talk) 19:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

message: could be useful to remember that the word "Scampo" comes from the Venetian language (Italy) and it means "curved animal"?

thread_title: Origin of the word

message: There's an implication here that "scampi" is used as a synonym for "shrimp" in Italian-American situations; realistically, its simpler than this: theres a single dish often found in the US called "Shrimp Scampi".  I'd strongly argue that "scampi" in a US-context means "broiled in a dish with butter and herbs".  "Scampi" would never be used without a qualifier, and while you occasionally see "Lobster Scampi", in most cases its simply "Shrimp Scampi".  Any reason to clarify, or am I just overthinking it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.56.24 (talk) 08:44, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Scampi" in the US 

message: The current scampi article is veering towards the POV that scampi = Nephrops norvegicus.  Of course we all know that that is the normal meaning in Italian and the statutory meaning in the UK.  If this article is primarily about N. norvegicus, then we should just merge the two articles and leave a section talking about the loose use of the name for certain dishes.  The other possibility is to make the scampi article about the dishes ("shrimp scampi", etc.) and keep a separate N. norvegicus article.  But the current state of the article is a mess. --Macrakis (talk) 20:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
