  1. Unopened clams are usually fine to eat. I would imagine a publication like ATK would know this rather than perpetuate unscientific nonsense. Really guys?

    Some mollusks open before they're safe to eat, some don't after cooking due to a strong muscle.

    Separate those that don't open and check them. The smell will be obvious. How about we stop wasting food due to nonsense written in the 70's?

  2. Fyi (although I'm sure you guys already know this, but not all your viewers might): presunto is just the portuguese word for dry-cured ham, the same way that prosciutto is just the italian word for the same thing.

  3. In Portugal "Presunto" are all cured ham like Parma and Iberico, but in Brasil Presunto is also the cooked ham. Chouriço or Chorizo (Spain) are all the sausages and salamies. The word linguiça is also for sausage but is not common in Portugal, it is used here in Brasil. We don't use chouriço here for sausage and use the word salame as the italians.
