I DO NOT recommend it when coming off a bout of stomach flu... I think I'm gonna hurl!

Nope....nor Manhattan Clam Chowder. Clams are the one seafood I don't like. Oysters are a treat, shrimp a staple in the house.....squid not a problem....but clams are gross.

My husband likes it from time to time....he's stuck with Chunky in the can though as I won't make it either.

I like New England Clam Chowder over Manhattan Clam Chower. Send some my way, I'd be happy to sample some.

YUUUUMMMMMMM!!!

Best Clam Chowder I've ever had was at a place called Cappy's in Camden, Maine.

Clam chowder in a bread bowl ranks right up there with Oreos for me...one of my absolute faves. I could live without the clams tho.

Eating clam chowder in a bread bowl on Fishermans Wharf on Monterey Bay while watching the otters is my idea of heaven. That's what I do when I need to recharge.

I must like potato soup rather than clam chowder, cause I don't like to taste the clams, but I voted "YES" cause I THOUGHT I liked it!

I'm in the midwest, and there's a Bookbinders in my building! Of course, I've never asked him for some chowda... he actually binds books for a living!

I'll only eat it if it's made by
1)My wife
2)My mother
3)My step-daughter
4)My cousin

Otherwise I don't touch it.

NO...not that one.., it's a restaurant, and they also market the chowder...I bought it at a gourmet grocery in Tulsa, Ok..Petty's Fine Foods...

I'd heard it was the best from someone who'd been there... I'm thinking maybe it was Boston...just maybe

I've heard of that place! A friend of mine very highly recommended it when I was out there last year, but one of the friends I was visiting is deathly allergic to shellfish (and loved it, so was totally pi$$ed that other people still got to eat it).

My AUNT in Bridgewater makes some pretty awesome N.E. clam chowder, but I was actually referring to my father's first cousin-Anita Eisenhaure-in Crescent Beach. I don't know if you're familiar with that part of N.S., but it's about 25 miles south of Bridgewater (heading toward Liverpool-where my father was born) close to the mouth of the LaHave River in the Green Bay area of Lunenberg County.

I sure am familiar with all of that area! Nova Scotia is small enough that people know people from every little nook and cranny. Many was the time we concluded a great chowder meal there with a piece of the famous lemon meringue pie from Gladys' Canteen at Hirtle's. My best friend and his wife have a summer house in Rose Bay.
