Manhattan clam chowder is not chowder! I'll say no more!

1. Chowder is a thick, chunky soup or stew,

traditionally made with seafood like clams, fish, or corn, along with vegetables like potatoes and onions, and a creamy milk or tomato base. The dish's name is believed to come from the French word chaudière, referring to the large pots used by fishermen to cook the chowder with their catch and leftovers.

(I happen to prefer Manhattan, as was born there.)

Can't fool my Queens Colony genes

4. While I do like a good New England clam chowder

Rhode Island clam chowder is so much better. I never liked Manhattan clam chowder although I have not had it since I was a kid.

13. I was schooled by a friend who came from a real clamming family

He bristled even at the mention of clam chowder. ‘The chowder is the feckin’ clam - not the feckin’ soup!’ Remember when Forrest Gump got a rundown on shrimp dishes from Bubba? I would go through laborious descriptions of how to grade cherrystones or littlenecks or quahogs or even chowders.

As for Manhattan clam chowder? I’ll take my minestrone straight-up and clams on the side. On the other hand, I would go swimming in a vat of the New England stuff if it were socially acceptable.

27. Living here in New England

I would tend to agree.

Not only do we have REAL Clam Chowder, but it's the best on Earth

30. I grew up on the Texas coast...

From a family of commercial fishermen. My mama could make the best seafood gumbo in 10 counties. Nowadays so many novices are throwing together a slop pot of fish and shrimp and calling it gumbo--makes me shudder. Gumbo does NOT have fish in it! Fish chowder has fish in it, never shrimp or crab. These fine foods should not be confused or mingled!
