Ming The Clam

It feels strange to be concerned about an Icelandic clam when there is so much devastation in the Philippines.

Yet when I read the article, I wondered how many ancient shell-fish (not that they are fish) have already been consumed?  I don’t eat the critters raw, but I have eaten, and prepared from scratch, chowders and soups, and other dishes,  with clams.  Not once did I ever consider the age of my ingredients. :-(  Bear

Ming the clam was the oldest animal ever. Then it didn’t die.  Ming was killed.
