Van bij de start dacht ik: dat is precies ne piemel 😂 .
Blijkt dat de nederlandse benaming ook zeepiemel of zwanenhalsmossel is (Google Translate).😮

Soit nog nooit van mijn leven gezien of van gehoord) is... en wat ben ik zó blij dat ik al gegeten had.
Eraan denken zorgt dat ik niet eet, dus wellicht verlies ik nog wel een paar 100 grammen de komende dagen. 🤢

PS: ik loop ook nooit meer op dat stuk strand dat kan onderlopen.

#Geoducks (genus Panopea/#Lushootseed gʷidəq) are such icons of the #SalishSea that the pronunciation of their name has become a test of Northwesterness, and with good cause: their ancestors have been in the region for a long time. The #OlympicPeninsula has yielded several #geoduck #fossils dating back to between 20 and 30 million years ago, and this #FossilFriday I share with you all a #Miocene geoduck from the #Clallam Formation next to its modern relative, the largest burrowing #clam.

Watching this episode of Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients... Geoduck is clearly not of this world. It is very clearly an alien.

This is a Geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck"). People dive for these in the shallow waters of the Hood Canal off Hama Hama and Humptulips, Washington.

I always wonder about the first person who saw one of these things and thought "Hmmm, that looks tasty!"

Well, 2 years in the #PNW and I finally ate #geoduck. I won't need to eat it again.
