The white kind, aka chowda.

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

Hmmm.. not really. I've had tastes of several, and some were better than others. Mostly just like the broth, cause I'm not crazy about clams. :)

After seeing what a raw clam looks like, I don't understand how anyone can put that s*** in their mouth. :o

The white stuff is great if it's done right.
We've got a place in Chapel Hill called the Nantucket Cafe.
Good folks from Nantucket Mass and they do it right!! :D

I love both kinds. Manhattan and New England style clam chowders.

Snow's makes a pretty good New England style "clam chowdah". New England style varies so I cannot reccomend any particular one other than the one myMom made.

Yeah, I like chowda -- New England better than Manhattan, but either one will do.

"Does a bear s*** in the woods"... of course I like chowder (no need to specify because in these parts there is only 1 type :wink: ). Best chowder in Boston is the Union Oyster House on Union St. Really thick with just the right amount of celery.

I prefer New England style to Manhattan style, but it need to be thick with lots of clams. Too many places serve something closer to potato soup than clam chowder!

Mmmmmmmmm. Chowder.

I don't get it often 'cause hubby doesn't like fish.

I prefer the white kind to the red Manhattan, but I'm kinda new to eating clam chowder, so perhaps the red that I had wasn't what it should have been...

I do love clams, though, melted butter w/lemon

Love clam chowder. I agree, too often it is filled with way too many potatoes. I always laugh when I visit Boston, because every restaurant claims to have "Award Winning" clam chowder---must be a whole lot of chowder competitiions :D :D :D :roll:

I'm not into the whole oyster/clam/mussel thing.

Now lobster, shrimp, and crabs are an entirely different thing <drool>
