He also insinuates mainlanders don't ever cook in the ground.  Ever
been to a clambake?  Couple of folks here do 'em pretty regular, south
towards Pungo area (near VA/NC border).  In the necks (brackish water
inlets) folks do a sort of pit steamer for crabs in season but most do
them above ground over a grill with coals under a thin steamer pot as
cleanup is easier.
