I’m going to make a huge meal of southern food and want a lot of variety. :) thanks

4. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, sprinkle with cheese and continue baking 5 minutes more, or until cheese melts.

SOUTHERN CORN CHOWDER

American food preferences?

Which American cuisine do you like the best? Here are the options:
~ New England (clam chowder, boiled dinners, baked beans, lobster, maple syrup, etc.)
~ New York Deli style (mostly German/Jewish cuisine)
~ Pennsylvania Amish (doughnuts, egg noodles, etc.)
~ Southern (Chesapeake seafood, BBQ, Smithfield ham, Low Country, Cajun/Creole, Appalachian, cornbread, biscuits, grits, blackberry cobbler, etc.)
~ Southwestern (AKA Tex-Mex)
~ Midwestern (basic meat and potatoes type dishes, Chicago deep dish pizza, Pierogies, etc.)

This is done out of boredom, just curious.

Southern all the way! I love me some BBQ sauce! And potoatoes. And cornbread. And biscuits. And steak. And butter. And corn. And blackberry stuff. And cotton. And grits.


What would be good sides (side dishes) for a Cajun chicken recipe?


If the chicken is spicy, I prefer to go simple with the sides so the flavours don’t "argue" – mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, steamed veggies.


what exactly are clams?

and how do they taste? I am curious because I was watching food network and they had a show where the guy was trying fried clams and I was just curious to try them. I am not a big seafood fan but I like cajun shrimp and tilapia and crab cakes.
and to this jackass who said oysters, I didn’t ask you all that so you could have kept that dumb ass answer to yourself.
and you spelled it wrong!

A clam is a kind of mollusc that has a shell divided into two pieces called valves; in other words, a clam is a bivalve mollusc.The word "clam" has no real taxonomic significance in biology. However in the USA the word can sometimes be used to mean any bivalve mollusc. It can also be used to mean a bivalve other than an oyster, mussel, or scallop, and that has a more-or-less oval shape, or a freshwater mussel.

The word clam is also very often used to mean any one of many edible bivalve species which live buried in sand, hence, "digging for clams" or clam digging. Not all edible clams are round or oval in shape: the razor clam has an elongated shell whose shape suggests a straight razor.

In October 2007 an Arctica islandica clam caught off the coast of Iceland was discovered to be at least 405 years old, and was declared the world’s oldest living animal by researchers from Bangor University.

A clam’s shell consists of two valves which are connected by a hinge joint and a ligament that can be external or internal. Two adductor muscles close the shells. The clam has no head, and usually has no eyes, (scallops are a notable exception), but a clam does have kidneys, a heart, a mouth, and an anus.

Clams, like most molluscs, also have open circulatory systems, which means that their organs are surrounded by watery blood that contains nutrients and oxygen. Clams eat plankton, and they themselves are eaten by small sharks and squid.

In culinary use, the term "clam" most often refers to the hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria but it may refer to several other species such as the soft-shell clam, Mya arenaria. Clams can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, baked or fried; the method of preparation depends partly on size and species. Clam chowder is a popular soup in the U.S. and Canada. In Italy, clams are often an ingredient of mixed seafood dishes, or are eaten together with pasta.

The Maxima clam Tridacna maxima, a species of giant clam, is popular with saltwater aquarium hobbyists.

The Moche people of ancient Peru worshiped the sea and its animals. They often depicted clams in their art.

Hope this helps! =)
