Where I am from, we call them clamburgers. I never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed clams". But maybe that's because it's a regional dialect from upstate New York. This video was afterall from The New York Times

I love Melissa Clark's recipes and so do the thousands who are illegally reposting them under their channel.

[@howardharaway2259]

Don't throw your dead clams away they make great soil fertilizer as well as the shell which adds calcium to the soil although you have to break the shell down haste makes waste.

[@haynesdarlington792]

Love your recipe. Can I add white wine to sauce while cooking?

[@davidwhatsthatabout7404]

No but you can go buy fast food and disguise it as your own cooking

[@poynerroy4692]

Melissa, you have just contradicted yourself. At 31 seconds you said don't keep clams in the fridge as that will suffocate them which is bad then at 1minute 40 secs you said clams will take 10 minutes to cook it straight out of the fridge. You have confused me, can you keep clams in the fridge or not?

[@hans9076]

Ms. Clark. Everything was eloquent of your cooking until you tore off a piece of your baguette by hand and not with a bread knife.

[@howardharaway2259]

I'm sorry but clams r not delicious they have very little to no taste at all you have to add things to it to make them taste like anything

[@thatoneintrovert9618]

Which is why I usually purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking!

[@emilyhancock3456]

love Melissa Clark but I'm a bit too squeamish to try this one...I'd feel too guilty
