Joe- if it was humorous, you could have said so. But you didn’t, and you generalized and you kept adding to it. Benson posted a great answer to you and you still take offense? And now you claim that there have been inflammatory comments about Italian Americans- as if that makes it ok. Don’t think so. You can’t take refuge in the old “I’m just being honest” argument. The only thing you’re being honest about is your prejudice and if you didn’t want to get a reaction, brownstoner is the last place you should have posted.
“CH – taht sounds delish b/c it makes it more hearty, right?”
It did, in fact. I used leeks, extra onions just because, carrots, a little celery, a little garlic, bay leaves and thyme – also extra because I love that! Oh, and I added a little cognac, too when I deglazed the pan.

Actually a clambake doesn’t usually have baked clams….steamed clams, corn the cob, potatoes and lobster.
Cargar, when I put you in my pocket I expect you to stay there dammit!
I’d offer up my humble digs, but alas, it’s too small over here. Maybe we can find a bar with a back room?

Clambake location: Hmm, need to ponder.

No, you came over on one of those damn annoying geese. 🙂 J/K
I agree, bxgrl. But he thought the last 4 years were his last & didn’t go too hog-wild. (Although I still grumble about a few of his draconian fiats.)
I’ve been out of pocket since this morning? Have I missed anything good?
I suppose a clambake without baked clams would somehow be all wrong 🙂
