from the picture with this recipe, i'd assume that they're clams.

Yes, small clams, a.k.a. cockles

Great! Thank you, rvb and Shaun! My Googling skills were pathetic, today. smileys/wink.gif

yw what i found was buried pretty deep.

And Google doesn't speak Strylian. Doesn't help it's also spelled pipis and pippies.

I'm editing a bunch of cookbooks written by Australians...so I have a whole new vocabulary >>>

Musk sticks...lamingtons...etc. smileys/wink.gif
And now pippies!
Thanks for the help! Shaun, are you Australian?

Sandra should see this post. She should know some Aussie terms by now.

I know pippies, they're great, I usually set them in a bucket of sea water with oats for awhile....

actually I do that with all the shells we dig up. It fattens them somewhat, also flushes them out. Lammingtons are great to, sometimes I make them but I leave off the cocnut, don't like the dessicated stuff....but MUSK STICKS, ugh, dont like the flavour of Musk.

Interesting about the oats, Joanie--thanks for the tip. smileys/smile.gif
