Almost swallowed a Quahog Pearl

(North Kingstown,R.I.)

My husband had gone "quahogging" one Saturday and brought home a couple of bushels to share with friends. After we had steamed them we sat around the fire with butter and clams. I felt something hard hit my throat and it scared me. I stood up gave a loud cough and the pearl flew right into my husbands glass of beer. We still laugh about it.
