Dig Deep Clams - a Chip Oddity

I submitted a few taste sensations for Lay's Potato Chips contest - invent a new flavor, no problem!  After all, it was Canadians who created Ketchup and Dill flavored chips !  It's true, look it up.

Open until April 15, create new flavors (up to three ingredients) - and four finalists will be selected to win $5,000.00, and if your flavor is the new hit wonder, you'll receive $50k and 1% of future sales.  

America just completed their first phase of finalists, with Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken and Waffles, and Sriracha being the top winners.

Easy-peasy ... honestly, Sriracha!  That stuff is so predominant here in Canada, it's everywhere, a frickin' condiment - you have to ask for it to be left OFF the dish!  But, what's with Chicken & Waffles - it's a confusion of breakfast and dinner - I just don't get it.  Does explain the obesity problem though.

Here's what we Canuckle-heads yearn to titillate our mouth buds with:

Cranberries and Horseradish

Honeycomb and Beef Jerky

Truffle and Parmesan cheese

Wasabi & ginger root

ALL SERVED WITH POUTINE and a 1-800 number to ban seal hunting.

....and my favorite:  Geoduck & Garlic, aka Dig Deep Clams

*plagiarism starts*
Pronounced "gooey-duck", the name comes from the Nisqually Indian "gwe-duk" meaning "dig-deep"
Geoduck clams are found throughout coastal British Columbia in each of the management areas from the intertidal zone to depths of at least 110 metres. The clams begin to burrow into the substrate within 40 to 50 days of birth, and they can bury to a depth of 60 cm in two years. Few predators can reach them once they are successful in achieving this depth. A geoduck grows rapidly for the first 10 to 15 years. By that time, it has grown so large that its shell cannot close around it. Recruitment to the fishery begins at age four and by age 12, geoducks are fully vulnerable to harvest. They are harvested individually by divers using a directed water jet called a "stinger" which loosens the substrate around the clams and allows them to be lifted out. Commercial geoduck harvesters can tell where the clams are buried by their "shows" (the visible exposed tip of a siphon or dimple left in the sand from a retracted siphon), and divers are expert "show readers" whether by sight when the weather is good or by feel in zero visibility conditions.
