In a shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal and flour. Season with Creole seasoning. Dredge the clams in the seasoned flour, coating each clam completely.

  28. *RAW EGG WARNING
  29. The American Egg Board states: There have been warnings against consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of foodborne illness. Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with the shell?
  30. Maw-Maw's Slaw:
  31. 1/2 pound white cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
  32. 1/2 pound red cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
  33. 1/2 pound assorted greens, such as mustard greens, collards, or spinach, trimmed, washed, and shredded (about 2 cups)
  34. 1 cup thinly sliced red onions
  35. 1 cup chopped green onions, green parts only
  36. 1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
  37. 1 cup homemade mayonnaise
  38. 1/2 cup Creole or whole-grain mustard
  39. 1 teaspoon salt
  40. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  41. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  42. 2 teaspoons sugar
  43. Place the white cabbage, red cabbage, greens, red onions, green onions, and parsley in a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and sugar. Mix well. Add the mixture to the greens and toss to mix thoroughly.
  44. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve chilled. The slaw can be made 3 hours ahead.
  45. Yield: 8 servings
  46. Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.
