8 thoughts on “Pioneers? and Clams?”

  1. “White meats only” to “give meatless meals a new appeal”…

    I’m just hungry. Clam chowder sounds delicious right now.

  2. Quite often, “clams” from the Pacific Northwest are actually from the geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck), a huge and freakish looking clam. They taste fine, but they are not much to look at. Google at your own peril.

  3. This is way, way late in the game. Fresh oysters were shipped by the barrel to Utah once the railroad was completed. They were a preferred breakfast item for Brigham Young according to one historian I know.

  4. “Meatless” clams makes sense if you’re the sort of person who eats fish instead of (warm-blooded) “meat” on Fridays during Lent. I’m not sure the Improvement Era really reaches that market, though…

  5. Meatless Monday and Wheatless Wednesday were patriotic efforts to conserve meat and grain for the army and for refugee populations during both World Wars, but I don’t think it had been revived yet in 1939; I could be wrong.

  7. Poor clams, dug up in their prime.

    I don’t know that I could brave such seafood so very far from the ocean. It really doesn’t travel well, and in that time period? *shudder*

  8. Meatless Monday and Wheatless Wednesday go really well with Taco Tuesday and Thirsty Thursday. Man, WWII sounds like it was a blast on the homefront!
