In this picture Piñera is being attacked by a walrus, at a boat fair, in Valdivia. This happened when he was looking for supporters during his presidential campaign at the fish market before the elections. Apparently, Piñera was too close to the fence which walruses usually approach for food. Piñera who was scared to death, said the sea creature had almost kissed him, even though, to me, the walrus was more likely to have had him for lunch. I really don´t know who this picture was taken by, but it appeared in “Las Últimas Noticias” newspaper, in 2005. I like it because I think it is a photographic success and the horror, dread and disgust in Piñera´s  face are absolutely unique.   Could this animal have been hired by “the opposition" parties prevailing in the country at that moment?

My Favorite dish is Razor Clams with Parmesan Cheese.   (Example)

For this delicious dish you need 1kg. of fresh razor clams, a little of white wine, grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic and butter, at taste.

They are easy to prepare: you just have to open them with a sturdy knife, clean the tongue, wash away any sand or any black substance at the base, and  put them back on the half shell.  You need to add butter,  grated parmesan, a little of garlic, white wine and lemon juice, at taste.

Bake them at high temperature for a few minutes. When razor clams are cooked, they turn pink and that is why they are also called "Pink Clams" .

This dish is one of the classics of Chilean cuisine, and it was created 50 years ago in Viña del Mar by an Italian immigrant called Eduardo Melotti Ferrari.

Even though, there is no reference of razor clams before the 1950s in Chile, archeologists refer to "the Machas Phase" 10.600 to 8.000 years before now based on findings in coastal middens (conchales) of southern coastal Peru, at that time.

I like them because they remind me of my childhood, when it was possible to find them on the beach, in Tongoy, Harvesting them together with my family was great fun. I eat them with a cup of good white wine and toasted bread, for Easter or May 21st, with family and friends.

And you? Would you like to try them?
