Note:
(a) Most New Englanders have not had a clambake, much less observed one.
(b) The how-to. Basically, one digs a pit (does not have to),
lines the pit with big rocks,
lights a fire in the pit to heat the rocks,
removes embers,
places lots of seaweed above rocks (so that food will not be burned),
places lobsters above seaweed, clams above lobsters, corn above clams (or
places lobsters, clams and corns, in that order, in a container of sorts),
and
covers the food with more seaweed and a tarp (to keep moisture and heat
inside).
The point is steam the whole food pile, which is not boiled in water.
(c) The "happy as a clam" is a phrase.
(d) The "spit" in "spit of land"
(noun): "a small point of land especially of sand or gravel running into a
body of water"

breakfast with friends and family)
