Lump that stuff over some raw clams. Dang...now you're talking. Haven't actually tried that but I don't see why it wouldn't work. the Dat'l sauce is pretty mild for a hot sauce but a superior ketchup substitute. Try mixing it half & half with horseradish with a good sqeeze of lemon jiuce and a healthy dash of Hab powder to give it a little character. Should be fine for clams or shrimp. Or...which I have tried, mix a green hab sauce like Lol-Tun with melted butter and a dash of lemon and dunk steamed clams, mussells, crab or (preferably and) lobster in it. Perfect justification for one more beer. :) Hmmmmm...anybody wanna do steamers at Jim's in Boston on the 31st? I'll bring my clam steamer if anybody's interested. :) JB -- ********************************* John Benz Fentner, Jr. Unionville, Connecticut, USA http://www.geocities.com/~jbenz/ "Lex Non Favet Delicatorum Votis" *********************************
