This is my Mammy's famous clam dip. As read in previous posts, Mammy passed away in October, but thankfully she e-mailed me the recipe to her clam dip a year or two ago.
1 clove of garlic
2 tsp lemon juice
18 oz pkg cream cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire
A dash of pepper
1 6.5 oz can minced claims; drained or chopped claims drained
1/4 cup clam broth
Rub small mixing bowl well with garlic that has been cut in half
In bowl blend well remaining ingredients
If thinnner dip is desired, add more clam broth
Makes about 2 cups
Eat with a sturdy potato chip...we like the Lays Wavey chips.
Seriously, this dip is to die for. Mammy used to make two double batches and hide the second double batch so we would go slow on the first. It still didn't last more than 15 minutes.
I prefer the chopped clams cause finding that giant clam in the dip is equivalent to finding treasure! So if you want a chunkier dip, holla at those chopped clams instead of minced.

Thank you so much for posting this amazing recipe! It made our Thanksgiving hors d'oeuvres a huge hit. One thing that bothered me about your post though was your use of the colloquialism "holla at those chopped clams". The use of ebonic phrasing by a European-American is simply inappropriate. Please continue to post recipes, but do so in standard American English. Thank you so much.

Oh Anonymous - how I have missed you so. So glad that you enjoyed the clam dip.
Also, I am half black, so it is ok that I use the term holla. My people totally accept me...they ignore my European side. Holla atcha girl!
