Just came back from fishing and had an urge for some clam chowder, so I got my elixir simmering up right now!

It's summer time, so it's chowder time. Which is your favorite style?

New England clam chowder is the ONLY kind. Anyone ever been to the Black rose in Boston and have it in the giant bread bowl? Now that;s eatin'.

Toss up between the white and the clear, though I lean to the clear. However, it's not as prevalent as the white.

I haven't been to the black rose but I went to the barking crab last week and it was pretty good.

New England style....only way you should make clam chowda'

I have to say that chowder is definitely something you New Englander's do best!

Actually, I have never had the clear????

Hmmmm might need to be sampled

So are you going to part with your recipe?

X 1000 on the New England. And yes,the recipe would be nice. Thankyou.

There is only one place that has the best Chowder..........Noname!

If you don't know Boston, it is the name of the restaurant. The Noname. Their Seafood chowder is the pinnacle of all chowders. Man, could I go for a bowl right now!

The Silver Lounge in Falmouth has some of the best chowder I've ever tasted.

New England without a doubt. Manhattan in my experience is vegtable soup with a few clams thrown-in to give it taste. (I don't care for vegtable soup) I've never had the clear. Sounds like some thing worth a try.

So New England style reins supreme!

Let's talk viscosity:

Thin - Medium - Thick - Really Thick?

I'm a medium guy, used to be a thick and creamy chowder head, but in Maine, they have generally serve it soup thin, so I went (make it) in the middle.

How about you guys,

Just befoah the spoon can stand alone...good for me...lotsa salt and peppa please...
