[MIke R]

Yeah ....but still.....no

although I must admit I have never tried it..

MikeR, you and DD can cook for me anytime! That is the perfect spaghetti and clams dish..and I think it is totally against the law in Italy to put cheese on any kind of seafood, btw...

 

[andynap]

Yeah you can cook for me too Mike anytime- LOL. You use my recipes so you may as well.

 

[MIke R]

I would be honored to cook for you but there still would be no cheese with seafood :tongue:

Pasta and clams is not seafood. :uncomfortableness: If you did a red sauce for the clams and pasta- then what? Cheese, no cheese? BTW- the waiter in Venice gladly sprinkled oodles of parmisano on my black cuttlefish pasta.

I would NEVER do clams in red sauce in the first place .......

Ah- that's your problem.

 

[MIke R]

And they don't know s&&it about good food in northern Italy anyway.....you have to be south of Rome for the good stuff

 

[MIke R]

Anyway you got me thinking while I was getting my hair cut....I've cooked for four forum people ......Kevin and you I ve not had the opportunity .....yet

 

[andynap]

Mussels- red or white??

 

[MIke R]

White or a hearty stout.....always

Well I'm too delicate and fancy for you apparently- :tongue:

 

[MIke R]

Nah.....just no opportunity

 

[davesmom]

Yeah, and some people think Manhattan clam chowder is clam chowder...and since when are clams not seafood?!!

 

[MIke R]

Manhattan clam chowder is disgusting

 

[davesmom]

Manhattan clam chowder is disgusting

Which is precisely why I said it (just IMHO)..It might be a soupe aux palourdes, but it ain't no clam chowder..

Are clams seafood?

 

[MIke R]

In my world they are

 

[andynap]

In my world they are

I agree and that's what I thought.
