Clams
Clams are a type of shellfish that have been consumed by humans for centuries. There are many different ways to prepare clams, and the history of clam recipes is a long and interesting one.
Clams are native to the coastlines of Europe and North America, and they have been a part of the human diet for millennia. The first known recipe for clams dates back to Roman times, when they were often cooked in stews or sauces.
As trade and travel increased between Europe and North America, so did the popularity of clams. New Englanders in particular developed a taste for clams, and they began to come up with new and innovative ways to prepare them.
Advice
When making clams, it is important to start with fresh, high-quality clams. Also, make sure you scrub the shells of any debris or sand. When boiling clams, make sure you don't overcook them or they will become rubbery. Additionally, adding flavorings like garlic, wine, and herbs can add a lot of flavor to the clams. Finally, make sure to discard any clams that are open or don't close when tapped, as these may be spoiled.
