"I can remember my Parents having this dip at their parties! It has not changed much! I put a twist on it, i dont like the taste of clams so I blended the dip in a food processor to make it smooth, i added a little mayo and a little extra lemon juice. I dont remember the Garlic back then you can omit it if you want make this to YOUR taste! :)"
