McDonald's Happy Meal web site confirms that the October 2015 kids' meal theme will be based on the current film Hotel Transylvania 2 (not The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was released back in in 1993).
There are differences in the shell textures of oysters and clams. The shell of a clam is smooth and shiny while an oyster has a rough outer shell. Both the organisms take in water through the shells but the filtering procedure is different. Oysters produce pearls which are in much demand but clams do not.
The quahog (pronounced coe-hog) is a species of hard-shelled clam and the one we most commonly enjoy in our chowders and po boys. All those other names - from little neck on up - are this same species of clam and just refer to how large the clam has grown. Little Neck: The smallest size of clam, amounting to 7-10 clams per pound. Cherry Stone: A little larger, you'll get 6-10 cherry stone clams per pound. Top Neck: These are sometimes also labeled as count neck clams, and they equal roughly 4 clams per pound.
