Collops → Collop – Singular form per WP:SINGULAR. ENeville (talk) 17:45, 25 September 2012 (UTC)


 * In a culinary sense, is this term ever used in the singular? By the way, the Other Uses section should be split off.  —  AjaxSmack   02:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * OED lists "collop" in culinary sense. Compare Brussels sprout or potato chip, which are normally consumed in quantity but titled in singular.  Also note Collop (or Collopy) Monday. Re split: yes. ENeville (talk) 20:23, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Good examples but we also have French fries, chicken fingers, and burnt ends as well as other foods (those that are rarely consumed in the singular). —  AjaxSmack   21:12, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * If it's a wash on that score, I advise titling per default: singular. Put another way, it doesn't seem to fit into one of the categories of exceptions on WP:PLURAL.  Also note that we still have the dictionary and the event name in testament to singular usage. ENeville (talk) 20:28, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Oppose This dish is known as Collops, with a Collop (singular) only being part of it. Brendandh (talk) 07:41, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Oppose See also rice and beans, bangers and mash, hash browns, and baked beans. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 16:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)


 * But these are examples, as described in WP:PLURAL, that don't exist in singular usage, whereas collop does. I could see the case for a dish alone, but this article covers the culinary use of collop in various forms, beyond just the Scottish dish. Note that bean is singular.
