Super Deluxe Clambake: A Healthy And Fun Party Alternative
The clambake has existed for centuries. Native Americans held the first clambakes near New England, which gives us the name New England Clambakes. Since then, they have been a popular tradition for family parties, celebrations, and other occasions. Spring has arrived - why not try one?
Clambakes were initially prepared in a pit dug in the dirt. Native Americans originally made a huge fire in the pit to cook the assorted seafood and vegetables. Stones were positioned at the bottom of the pit to absorb the heat. Layers of corn husks were placed on top of the stones. When the fire was finally reduced to burning ash and embers, they would then put the fresh seafood and vegetables on the very hot stones, separating the layers with fresh seaweed.
Fresh shellfish can be ordered from a variety of locations. There are two ordering alternatives for you for your nutritious and festive clam bake. You can request the standard clambake, which has lobster, clams, chowder and also includes supplies. Or go for something called a super deluxe clambake, which has everything the standard clambake includes plus mussels and/or shrimp, or other fresh shellfish.
For larger gatherings, the super deluxe clambake is a more popular option. Since this type of clambake includes more types of seafood, more guests will be able to find something they like to eat and will be happier. In addition, you’re much less likely to run out of food, even with lots of people.
Clambakes today do not normally follow the old fashioned methods of cooking. Normal clambakes are now done on a grill, stove, and even over a fire pit. For that reason they make great outdoor parties and are great for people that like to camp frequently. In addition the ease of cleaning helps too.
Fresh food, as we all know, is much healthier than processed food, so a healthy atmosphere for you and your party is ensured with a clambake. Since shellfish and other seafood are so very healthy, it also benefits by being fresh. We should remember that clambakes are healthy for us as well as being the epitome of fun and atmosphere.
A healthy alternative that would be good for friends or family in spring are Classic American Clambakes. One should know that the idea behind clambake is positive to intrigue many guests and will be the beginning of many new conversations in the midst of a party.
