"We did not keep eating the clams," he recalls. It was toward the end of enjoying the dish that Overland made the unexpected discovery.
"Like a bead or piece of candy," he says, "my wife said it looked like one of those dot candies you peel off of paper, because the back of it was flat and it was a very light shade of purple." "When we looked at it, it was actually purple," says Overland, who initially thought it was something a chef had dropped in. "That's also good," he says of the preparation, "because if we were just slurping down clams on the half shell, we may have swallowed the pearl."Īs Overland was eating the clams, he bit down on something hard and thought it was a piece of shell. " a good lesson to not be a pain at restaurants," says Overland of the dish, which was not part of the restaurant's raw bar menu, but cooked. It's a good thing he didn't, because he'd never have discovered a rare purple pearl inside one of the clams. "My wife is not a huge fan of bell peppers, so we asked for it without the pico, but they forgot the request and put it on," says Overland, who almost sent the dish back. "We ordered the clams appetizer, which came with a scampi sauce and a bell pepper pico ," Overland tells Yahoo Life. on a family vacation when he discovered a rare treasure on his dinner plate.
