I was at a gathering today and ate about 2 doz raw clams..... am I about the only one that still does this ? Damn they're good and I freaked everyone out there !!
clams or oysters it dont matter. for the clams a dash of vinger with pepper in it and for the oyster open him drop into a galss of bourbon (watch the oyster cringe0 AND DOWN THE HATCH.
:puke: :puke:
I will eat a few of them cooked but not uncooked. :puke:
Can't say I've ever had the chance to try it. :shrug:
Something I picked up from the grandad going to the clam bakes with him. Every year someone would make a trip to the coast and dig a bunch bring home and throw a huge bash. Stainless round tubs were used for the clams and beer.
How much do the oysters differ from the clams ?
I think they are a bit bigger but they both look like a lougy some one just spit in the shell before cooked.
I better refrain and hold my comments to myself on this one :innocentwhistle:
Steve
:laf: LoL...
as said oysters are bigger, a little more chewy (when they cringe in the bourbon they get a little firmer and have a slight taste of the boubon but other than that taste close to clams. steve i'm not going to ask what exoerience led to your comment (though i bet there are others if they fess up) :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
When I was a kid I went with my uncle to the oyster beds in Northwest Washington State. He was popping them with his knife and we ate raw oysters until I thought I was gonna puke. :eyebrownod: Gathered several up and put them on the barby until the shells popped. I liked them both ways. I'll still eat them occasionally, but I prefer steak. :eyebrownod:
Nothing like a big cold salty Quahog straight from the ocean :yoyo:
