Im thinking about the Pilgram thing. Something me and Stubby can throw together In a seaweed filled pit with hot stones

Hmm...thats a good tip. Thanks


" Once the rocks are hot enough to spit a drop of water back at you "


But whats the story with cheesecloth ??? Something the Pilgrams brought from the ole country ? or does that stuff grow along the shoreline in New England ?

 

Cheesecloth goes back a ways.

"History
Cheesecloth can be traced back to 17th century France, where the town of Le Mans was famous for exporting the inventive material to Italy, Spain and the West Indies."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheesecloth

Gauze, which is similar, gets its name from the region called Gaza where it originated.

 

Hmm...Stubby wont be happy when we make landfall after floating around for three weeks in the liferaft , eating old deckshoes, when I tell him the clambake is canceled due to lack of cheesecloth.

Whats the pilgram cheesecloth alternative ?

 

Clams have federal protection. Got it by lobbying congress thru their orginazation KU KLUX CLAM

 

Well, no KLU KLUX CLAMs locally ,so Homeland security isnt dug into the dunes , but the big tasty clams are getting really shy and hard to find. Locate a decent clam'n beach and the big ones inevitably run off before you get a chance to cook em.


Its a real problem

 

Used to be a tv commercial, college age young couple walking on beach hunting clams. Boyfriend says,"Shhh! Be quiet and listen. When one clam coughs it gives all of them away!"

that was very shellfish of them.

 

corn husks

although clams are like quahogs, you can just eat them Raw and there really pretty good

 

My dad was a Tampa boy. I was born in Orlando and we lived in cental Fla while growing up. Titusville, Sanford, Wintergarden. We'd visit grandma in Tampa, Dad would dredge up bucket full cochina clams (every where) wash away sand, sort out the closed ones for the pot. Boil a little in salted water, add milk, butter, black pepper, and oytser crackers. Eat with cuban bread and crabs. Use finger on crab claw to pick clam meat out of tiny cochina (or coquina) clams.

 

Yah...thats what I was thinking too. The local seawead is stringy...not kelp leaf like.


Corn husks over pan size fish and fist fulls of shellfish
