Howdy, PARSLEY! This IS the classic, at our family & friends get-togethers,there were people that always asked if Mom brought her dip! She always said "I just throw things together and let Mike(me) taste it, and I usually said "one more clove garlic, and a touch more Tabasco. One of the many wonderful memories that I'll never, never forget! Moms!

Wasn't a fan, honestly. I am a lover of crab ragoons or a nice shrimp/crab dip with cream cheese, and yet I couldn't get over the flavor of cream cheese and clams together. I much preferred the same recipe made with about a cup of sour cream and no cream cheese... this does make for a thinner dip, though-- I used a very fatty organic sour cream just for the extra thickness. The leftover clam juice from the can tastes good over ice with a little tomato juice and vodka, plus the usual Bloody Mary seasonings. The Canadians love it.
