peer agreement (net): +4clams // abalone Explanation: Se usa el término 'abalone' para describir al loco. Sobre las 'machas' son algo entre los 'berberechos' y las 'almejas' http://www.zonalatina.com/Zldata102.htm These two reasons also combine to lead to unusual ways in which seafood must be harvested, prepared and eaten. Here is how Isabel Allende described some of them in her remarkable book: Abalone In Chile we call it loco, maybe because to tenderize it you have to pound it unmercifully, the way mental patients once were treated. It lives in a thick shell, adhered to rocks, usually in cold waters. Harvesting it is not an agreeable task; you have to sink into icy water, equipped with an iron bar to pry the abalone from the rock. There is a science to cooking it, and the person who doesn't it usually ends up gnawing on a piece of hard rubber, but when properly prepared it is delicious. Shrimps, prawns, crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans Tasty, decorative, and very aphrodisiac, these are also easy to prepare --- simply boil or broil them --- but sometimes you must have a heart of ice to kill them. To use the example of the lobster: you have to peg and bind its claw and submerse it head first in boiling water, turning a deaf ear to its faint moans, and cook it until the shell turns red. Keeping in mind that some lobsters are the size of a rat, this is not a task recommended for the faint of heart or for maidens. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-13 15:49:38 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- perdona por el error: razor clam es lo correcto :-))ç abalone está bien -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-13 15:50:25 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Los exportadores chilenos le dicen: abalone Suerte, JL -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-13 15:51:50 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.openpacific.cl/Especies/Machas.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-13 17:40:13 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nombre Chileno Nombre Inglés Nombre Científico Habitat Almeja Hard Clam Ameghinomya antiqua IV a IX Región Loco Chilean Abalone Concholepas concholepas I a XII Región Pulpo Octopus Octopus spp I a III Región -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-13 21:01:50 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hola! Acabo ver tu nota y contexto. Mira, las machas son una especie que esta dentro de los \'razor clams\'. El nombre, si quieres rizarlo un poco más es: WEDGE CLAM Te paso esto que tiene hasta el simil que utilizan los importadores de los Estados Unidos para evitar la confusión cuando le hacen los pedidos a los exportadores chilenos: Nombre cientifico / scientfic name Mesodesma donacium Nombre común / vernacular name Macha, Mejillón amarillo, Almeja amarilla Nombre inglés / english name Chilean Wedge Clam Simil de importancia internacional simile of international trade Ensis directus (USA), Sinovacula constricta (Japón) Mucha suerte y no olvides un buen vino blanco, chileno, y perjil+limón+poquito de ajo (esto es opcional)+tomate picado y ay!!!!...a disfrutar. :-)) JL |
