Members KLN Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 So, I'm watching the Food Network, and they keep referring to this green food item as "shallots." They look like green onions to me. Ditto that for "scallions." Are they one and the same? Do people actually call them shallots/scallions, or is it just us midwesterners who refer to them as green onions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mitchapalooza Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yes they are the same thing. They are called green onions, scallions, and shallots. Most people I knoew call them green onions, but I know somepople who call them shallots and scallions. I think most "Western" people call them green onions and "shallots/scallions" is a more eastern term, but Im not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
