garigoun Posted April 2, 2009 #78 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Quahogs are a hard shell clam used in clam chowders, and are found from Prince Edward Island to the Yucatan Peninsula, but are most common along the North-East US seaboard. The name is from a Narraganset word. It's also the official shellfish of Rhode Island. Isn't travel educational? ;) It's taken me a long time to answer this post as all afternoon I have been convulsed with helpless, hysterical incredulous laughter at the idea of an OFFICIAL shellfish. What are Oh No I'm off again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCurry Posted April 2, 2009 #80 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Good God.Is there any part of anything you people don't eat? It has been said of pigs at our packing plants that they process everything but the squeal!! I've always thought that a number of pig orifices went into the making of Spam. This is starting to make haggis sound good.......... We won't rush to judgment on that one!!:) And just to make Gari's day a little brighter Lurker, ours is the Lightning Welk!!

alphakitty Posted April 2, 2009 #88 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Reminds me of the time we were visiting my cousin in RI and I said how delicious the beans were. "How do you make them like this?" "Open the tin and warm them!" (They were nothing like Heinz!) :D That would be a horror to a true Rhode Islander, no canned beans please! :) We make ours from scratch with lots of molasses and brown sugar...no tomato! :D and no prairie oysters for me...blech! :) Now a good stuffed quahog is a delicious treat. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCurry Posted April 2, 2009 #89 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Scottish occupation with something other than sheep. Teaching piping to all of those plaid clad Americans in the summer just so they can come back and play the 46 dirges at funerals, parades, and Bar Mitzvahs! Loved the head of the head of state BTW, as it seems to have been an equal opportunity sport for men, women, and children! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
