There�s nothing like a good bowl of New England style clam chowder and I can only imagine how good it tastes along the coast of the New England states.

I really have to visit Bahston one day.

Yeah... and don't fall for that Manhattan Clam Chowder stuff. It's not even a chowdah.

Love NE clam chowder myself and thanks to you, at 1:30 AM I have no idea where to get some. Hmmmm... No Pat's game tomorrow. Maybe I'll venture to the local fish market.

Best Clam Chowder I'd ever had was still went I went to Maine along with the best Lobster roll sandwich I'd ever had - also in Maine.

I've yet to visit New England so the best clam chowder I've had was at some seafood place near Key West.

I must admit that the best clam chowder I've had was in a little Irish pub in Boston.

Runner up goes to Ivar's on the Seattle waterfront, oddly enough.

It's been decades for this this Buffalo Bill's fan....

Here is an easy croc potter, fresh is better if it can be had for the budget...

You need to come up for some chowdah and a late September game at Fenway Park.

'Is that the red or the white'?

iF you make to New England, I would like to suggest either of these for a fantastic bowl of chowder. New Hampshire, the Granite State, directly abuts Maine to the South. It only has about 18 miles of coast, but think of it as New England concentrate!:

White.

Manhattan Clam Chowder is red.

Clam chowder is one of those things I like but never order, mainly because I'd rather have the clams themselves (whole bellies, put in a pot of water with cornmeal the night before), scallops (preferably sea), or shrimp. My sister-in-law always makes a seafood chowder to die for when we have holidays at their place - huge chunks of clams & scallops, and nice big pieces of haddock as well.

I had to google clam chowder,I had no idea what it is. I was just quoting from one of my favourite movies Ace Ventura.I though that Panzer would have weighed in on that one

I never had red clam chowder before.

Every clam chowder I'd ever had was white.

Clam chowder is a precious commodity only done correctly here in Maine as is the case with anything made with lobster, crab, scallops, shrimp or haddock.

Yeah, I remember passing the Snow's clam chowder cannery in Pine Point as a kid, while on our way to Salty Bay seafood restaurant, and just can't see myself buying it any more ever since they closed that facility and now can it in NJ.

The ONLY place you can get a real and authentic media noche (Cuban sandwich) is in Miami so I completely undestand the sentiment expressed here about where to get real clam chowder.

Back when store-bought soup meant Campbell's, chowder
meant Manhattan red, as that was the only kind they
sold, for some reason. When I had my first cream
based chowder, I couldn't imagine why they would
have wanted to offer the other kind. Maybe it was
trendy in the fifties.

For me, Manhattan-style clam chowder is a bizarre anomaly like decaf coffee and non-alcoholic beer.

I don't like clams or chowder, so it's irrelevant to me.

However, I can say that real Key Lime pie is much better than the imitators (which are instantly noticeable because they're green).

I just had some real Key Lime pie at some place in Key Largo two Saturdays ago. Yeah it was fricking fantastic.
