[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. It's a type of clam chowder

[Road Scholar]

29. It certainly is. It's the third type and it's delicious.

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[DinahMoeHum]

32. Yep, neither cream/milk nor tomatoes.

Just clear broth.

But personally, I prefer the New England way, such as made at Anthony's in Middletown. RI. That, plus some clam cakes or stuffies to go with it.

:9:9:9

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. I will have to try it...

Rhode Island clam chowder has clear broth. Though less popular than the other two, clear chowders are still served, especially at long-established New England restaurants and hotels, such as those on Block Island, and on the south coast of the state, where tourists favor white chowders while natives prefer the clear.

40. But that's

Quahog Chowder!!!!

[BarenakedLady]

53. Stop making me homesick.

:(

[flvegan]

2. Even a vegan knows that New England style is the only style.

Manhattan style looks like sliced bulls nuts in salsa.

And it's chowdah.

[elleng]

41. It appears that 'a vegan'

DON'T KNOW NUTTIN!

[DarkTirade]

3. WTF is that red stuff?

Chowder isn't red unless you left it sitting in the back of the fridge and forgot about it for a month or two.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. eww

that is gross.

[DarkTirade]

8. Yes it is. I wouldn't eat it.

I wouldn't eat the one at the back of the fridge either. :P

[Renew Deal]

56. Another cluless Boston chowda head.

:D

[Taverner]

5. I prefer New England, but both are good in my book

And I've had some Manhattan Chowders that were jaw gaping amazing

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. me too. I usually go for the New England Style but,

I like the Manhattan, too yeah. :D

[MattSh]

18. Agreed.

Both are good when done well. Both are so-so when done poorly.

[zanne]

9. What Manhattan did to clam chowder is a sin. nt

[Radical Activist]

10. Don't care for it

either way.

[SeattleGirl]

11. None of the above, and none of any other.

Don't care for it at all, myself.

[Adsos Letter]

12. I had to go with New England style...

I can't help it...It's the way I was born, the way I was raised.... :D

[Inchworm]

13. Never saw red chowder

Gawd, now I gotta try me some.

[qnr]

14. Both n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

15. Who's the Freeper who voted for RED chowder??

Yuck! :puke:

[KamaAina]

38. I'm thinking Rick Warren

you do know he lurks here, right? :P

[southerncrone]

16. Hey! I need a BOTH choice!

[Ohio Joe]

17. mmmm, Clam Chowder, I love em both

There are some really good soups to be had here in Columbus but in the eight years (damn... almost nine), I've yet to find a good chowder of either kind.

[Monk06]

19. How about Canadian Cod and Mussel chowder ?

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5035/canadian-mussel-cod-and-fennel-chowder

[MineralMan]

36. Now, that looks terrific...

I guess I'll have to go to Canadia to try it, though, right?

[Monk06]

39. No need to go to Canada the recipe is at the link and it's easy. It's like a gumbo or bouillabaisse

with potato for thickening hence it's a chowder.
It would be great with black cod which is not
endangered. Black cod is also called Sable Fish
or Butterfish. Beautiful large flakes high in
Omega 3 fatty acids. Sable fish also pan fries
nicely.

[elleng]

42. Its the POT that makes it CHOWDER!

not potatoes for thickening!

'The most accepted etymology for the word chowder comes from the pot in which it is cooked. The French word chaudron translated means "a pot," developed from chaud, "hot" (also related to the Latin calderia and English cauldron). The word "chowder" is a New England word that came from Newfoundland, where Breton fishermen — who would throw portions of the day's catch and other available foods into a large pot — introduced the word, and perhaps the fish soup itself (compare bouillabaisse). Another possible origin for the word chowder is derived from the Old English "jowter", which means fishmonger (one who peddles fish).'

[Odin2005]

50. DAYUM! That's making me hungry!

I WANT SOME!!!

[Callalily]

20. I voted for New England

but to be truthful, I like them both!

Now you're making me hungry for some 'chowdar! ;)

[Connonym]

21. My dad used to always make an oyster chowder/stew for Xmas eve

looking at the New England clam makes me want to whip up a batch.

[lost-in-nj]

22. .....

:rofl:


:lost:

[bigwillq]

24. Neither

I hate seafood. :puke:

[kwassa]

25. I had chowdah yesterday, New England.

I have Manhatten style in the pantry, both are Progresso versions and quite good.

I have had excellent fish chowder, too.

Just don't make it with CORN, an abomination.

[Marrah_G]

26. That red shit is NOT chowder~!!!!

:nuke:

[Gormy Cuss]

27. Home style New England chowder (no library paste)

Salt pork, milk, butter,onions, potatoes and pissahs*.

edited to add link to a basic recipe:
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1648,142187-241198,00.html






*pissahs are soft shell clams also called Ipswich clams.

[jpak]

30. Scrunchin's make the chowdah

yum

:thumbsup:

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. I say this as a Mainah, they are both gross. But the _real_ one is of course the NE one

[MissMillie]

31. I like 'em both

I don't like New England clam chowder if it's too think.

[Roon]

33. The Manhatten does look tasty even though I picked NE style

Wouldn't mind trying it sometime.

[fortyfeetunder]

34. Homemade of either one is best

My seasoning of choice for the canned soup is a dash of Old Bay seasoning...

[mainegreen]

44. There is NO SUCH THING as Manhattan Clam Chowder.

God would never allow such an abomination to food exist.

[Chan790]

45. Indeed...

Manhattan clam chowder is an abomination before man and ceiling cat alike.

[Liberal_in_LA]

47. other - hate it

[WritingIsMyReligion]

48. New England. Duh.

Foocking amazing.

[Odin2005]

49. New England style, no contest!

Loved the stuff since I was a little kid.

[BarenakedLady]

52. My grandpa made a mean Manhattan chowdah

Well it was more a cross between RI and Manhattan. Something unique and lovely. Gawd, how I miss it.

I enjoy all kinds of chowdah on the rare occassion that I actually eat it. I just recently started eating a bit of shellfish again.

[tigereye]

54. I like Manhattan better, and my dad is even from New England

I seem to be in the minority....

[Renew Deal]

55. My dad had a way of knowing the difference.

And it's pretty old NY. New England is white like snow. Manhattan is red like blood, as in the crime in NY.

I proudly say Manhattan!
