CollopsCollop – Singular form per WP:SINGULAR. ENeville (talk) 17:45, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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

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

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.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Collops. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
