Only REAL New Englanders, I guess! I have drank it in the past, mixed with tomato juice it's pretty yummy. Now, with my allergies, I have to be careful about certain categories of food, so I haven't had clams in a while.

I'll make Grace drool:

As a kid, we had a big pot of steamed clams and the big family gathering every July 4th. There was a small pan of butter melting on the fire in the outdoor fireplace, and because my eldest cousin would get a reaction if she actually shelled her own clams, and there were others whose fingers were a bit too arthritic, I'd sit and open a pile of clams for them, and just put the clams in a bowl of the melted butter and hand it, and a fork, over. And at the end, I ate some myself!
