Favorite chowder (chowdah)

[MissMillie]

Poll question: Favorite chowder (chowdah)

I'll stick w/ the more familiar sorts, but you can always choose "other" and tell us if you prefer something different. As for me, it's the lobster w/ sweet potato chowder I mentioned in my other post.

1. New-England clam chowder

I'm a New Yorker living in Massachusetts, and trust me:


Manhattan Chowder SUCKS!!!!!

New England Clam Chowder is probably the reason that Massachusetts exists!

edit: Corn Chowder is delicious as well.

6. Manhattan FISH chowder is good; but for clams, ya gotta go NE.

Of course, I voted "corn," so that's what my opinion's worth.

14. its a damn lie.....

[Doogie]

2. There can be only one...

clam chowder, and thats New England.

I have no idea what that tomato-stuff is supposed to be, but it aint chowder. Chowder is milk/cream based.

3. Voted NE clam

but a good oyster chowduh is hard to beat!

4. Quoahog chowder thank you very much

only non-New Englanders call is "clam chowder"

[MissMillie]

9. I've lived in NE all my life

and I've always called it "clam chowder".... in fact, I've never heard anyone call it anything else.

Then again, in MA we say "soda" and in NH you say "pop"

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. yeah but I grew up in New Bedford, MA

and it's always been Quoahog chowder whether I've been there, in Boston, points east, north west...

In New Hampshire, it's Clam chowder.

5. Hey, what happened to the Conch Chowder?

?

[Doogie]

8. Conch??

You can do that??

All the same ingredients as clam chowder? How do you get the conch to not have the consistency of rubber bands?

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Last time I had it, it was spicy red hot.

And the conch meat was not rubbery at all. Next time you visit St. Pete, go to the St. Pete Ale House and find out for yourself.

7. New England Fish Chowder is also good

my mother made it just like her mother did, with lots of potatoes and large hunks of fresh codfish.

[MissMillie]

10. you're right, in fact

I'm pretty good w/ a cod chowder myself. I updated the poll.

[Skittles]

11. sorry, none

:puke:

13. I Like Rhode Island Clam Chowder

Broth with no cream OR tomato.

16. Manhattan Chowder Rules

New England chowder is glorified cream of potato soup.
