Rhode Island Couple Finds Pearl in Restaurant Meal – Turns It Into Engagement Ring!
What an amazing occurrence. A Rhode Island couple was out to eat when the seafood they were sharing gave them an engagement ring! Don’t worry, nobody is engaged to the quahog.
Sandra “Sandy” Sikorski and Ken Steinkamp have been regulars at The Bridge Restaurant and Raw Bar in downtown Westerly for years, coming in for the quahogs. This time around Sandy reached for the last ‘hog, slurped it down, and immediately felt a large ball in her mouth. That ball, come to find out, was an extremely rare, one-in-a-million, 9.8-millimeter Mercenaria pearl. It’s estimated that the pearl took the clam 50 years to make.
Half a year later Ken got on one knee and popped the question to Sandy using, you guessed it, the rare quahog pearl, now tastefully and gorgeously set into an engagement ring. I hope the Bridge Restaurant will be catering… or at least invited. LOL
While we’re talkin’ seafood, maybe you’ll find your next engagement ring in one of these delicious LOBSTER ROLLS! Why might they contain an engagement ring?? Uhhhhhhhhh… maybe it fell off the person making it?! (Probably not. It was a bit of a stretch, I know.)
So where can you get the Best Lobster Rolls in Massachusetts? It’s tough to square down the very best anything because everybody has different perspectives and likes and dislikes. But one thing is for sure – these are 10 of the best lobster rolls in Massachusetts.
The history of lobster rolls in New England can be traced back to the late 19th century. Lobsters, once considered a food for the working class, gained popularity as a delicacy. It is believed that the first lobster roll was served at a restaurant in Connecticut sometime right around the 1920s. Originally, lobster meat was served warm with butter, but over time, the chilled lobster roll emerged. The dish consists of fresh lobster meat mixed with mayonnaise, served in a split-top roll. Today, lobster rolls are an iconic part of New England cuisine, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike for their delicious simplicity.
