I can't decide which is the more unsettling aspect of this article from CBC News--
That there is a "phallic clam" inhabiting the waters off the British Columbia coast. Wasn't enough that feet kept washing ashore--now we have to worry about penises?!
That they served said clam to the Royal couple, Will and Kate (pardon me, William and Katherine), on their recent visit to Western Canada.
That the clam's name is pronounced "gooey-duck."
That the Vancouver Aquarium has an executive chef.
Actually, I think it's the latter that is the more worrisome. No matter how you, uh, slice it, there's just something unseemly about creating recipes from the creatures you're committed to helping survive. It's like that old episode of The Twilight Zone, "To Serve Man."
Watch out Nemo and Dory, it's a cookbook!
Appropriate that a Canadian actor, Lloyd Bochner, is on the menu.
