Well guys the taste tester was honest which is always a good thing lol. I personally love these as did the rest of my family. Hopefully I can redeem myself in the next one. Have a great holiday and as always thanks for watching!

Love how you supported your son to share his true feelings, while you were able to share your appreciation of the food without minimizing your boy. This is the kind of stuff that lets kids grow into amazing human beings that can remain close to folks, even when they disagree, without having to sacrifice their own voice. Great cook, sweet recipe, event better dad and family! Outstanding! Merry Christmas guys!

Gotta share this story. I made the beef and barley soup from a few videos back. Invited my friends over with their 4 year old. The kid eats chicken nugget, mac and cheese and apple juice, no fooling. Let me tell you she walked into the dining room, got in her dad's lap and ate a whole bowl. We almost cried. Picky baby ate, so that recipe was a winner.🤩 I didn't appreciate clams casino until my late teens so I understand James on that one. I really enjoy them now😊

"It's good for you. It's Bacon fat." Words to live by...Jim: "I said that" Tara: "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention" - That's what you get when you smart talk Mama. Love you two so much; so sweet and funny together! James is really developing a very discerning palate. I actually cried a little bit when James was struggling over the fact that he didn't love the dish. It shows an incredible amount of compassion and kindness in him. You have done a wonderful job raising a kind young man!

[CG-yjzd]

What a good young man! I love that he feels like he can give you feedback, even when negative. Shows what a good dad you are!

Clams! Just hearing the word makes my mouth water, and the combo of clams, breadcrumbs and bacon and you have one of my favorite dishes ever. Thanks for this reminder for an easy and scrumptious holiday or anytime dish! James is allowed his opinion, more for the rest of us! 😋

Shellfish for most kids would be tough. I'm seeing a ton of recipes using clams and oysters this year. Compared to so much food right now, they are relatively inexpensive. Oyster Rockefeller were a tradition at our house in the Midwest. Lots of shucking .... but so worth it. I also do garlic clams from
"Bistro Cooking at Home" by Gordon Hammersley. You would love that book! Merry Christmas!!!

Your son will most assuredly grow into these flavors. Love that you posted it as is.

[douglasb]

Well, we all can't love everything. James gives his honest opinion, which is great. But, this combination of ingredients sounds, and looks good to me, so I think I'm going to give it a try!👍👍

[munki]

Have made a few of your recipes recently for my family and they have loved them all. Feeling way more confident in the kitchen now too! Thanks!

[atlenebartolino]

I agree with James. Bacon doesn't belong in any recipe. It overtakes the flavor. James you Rock

[tatersalad]

Don't feel too bad, Clams usually fall into the "mostly adults like it" category of food. Which means there's more for us! 😋

[davenothear]

Just a great channel. Family oriented, love the interaction between father and son. Two well presented cooking segments this week that stir my appetite towards preparing these recipes. Thank you for your video's and bless you and all yours. Merry Christmas.

[robertgowdey]

I started my own Alfredo and angel after watching your video and it's better than anything I had. I think it's the Parmigiano-Reggiano garlic cloves butter and heavy whipping cream. Every where I've been it tastes nothing like it. Thank you!!!

[GoodForYou]

I went to a family dinner recently, one of the sides was baked brussel sprouts with garlic, romano, S&P, and a drizzle of olive oil. I was so impressed at how simple yet incredibly delicious it was! My teenage daughter said it was so terrible and she would never eat a bite of anything like that for the rest of her life. We all like different things and maybe it has something to do with age. I said "I'll have yours"!!! 😊

[marycarper]

Such good instructions, I have never cooked clams before, but I'll give it a try...

[christelalberez]

This makes me want to add this to my Christmas appetizers! I haven't had clams casino in 20 years, now I'm craving them! I LOVE that you keep it real with your test taster!!! Have an amazing holiday!

WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A Buon Natale

[zoemetro]

I have always wanted to try making this. It isn't Christmas at our house without clams. The shucking is intimidating but thanks to watching you and Tara I am going to steal some of the clams that I have ordered to make your Zuppa di Pesce on Saturday and try these as an appetizer. Thanks a million for all the great videos and recipes. I have my mom, brothers and their neighbors watching the videos now. We will raise a toast to the Sip and Feast family before our celebrations on Saturday.

I'm allergic to shellfish. I watched this to see James' critique. You're raising a kid with a good palette. I got my 16 year old son to try a clementine yesterday. (He doesn't care for oranges, generally) and it was a revelation for him. LOL
