I notice that Campbell's doesn't stock it anymore, just the New England stuff.  


See, things ARE getting better. 
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?

i hope i never get that hungry
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

What you can get in most of the country is nothing like a real haddock chowder made with fresh-cracked pepper, dairy butter, fresh, sweet fish, and Maine new potatoes from a saltwater farm. Stuff is the food of the gods, consumed with crusty bread.

I was born near the ocean, so I'll always prefer the soups that are best when prepared and consumed close to the shore, I think. Smiley

Enough is enough, Maned.  I've got to hit the sack, and now you've got me craving a good chowder.  And it's a craving that can't be satisfied before bed.  Are you happy ruining my sleep tonight?   undecided    laugh

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

"what's chowder?"

A pale and feeble thing compared to Pennsylvania Dutch chicken corn soup or ham and bean soup.

and that doesn't hold a candle to Catfish Stew

That's clearly stupid, rather than brave.

Seven years in a cool larder would be stupid IMO - unless it was all you had to eat with a projection of days til the next available morsel. Seven years in a vehicle and summer heat - very foolish.

A guy at my office just ate a can of New England style clam chowder that expired 7 years ago for lunch.  It had been stored in the emergency box behind the seat of his truck and he didn't want to waste it.  I thought it smelled a little off, but it was also a store brand so who knows what that was.

Think he is going to regret this?

Bah. New England is the One True Clam Chowder.

Doesn't compare with Mid-Atlantic clam chowder. grin

Potatoes, clams, some salt pork. No tomatoes or milk/cream. Maybe a little cornstarch to thicken. Pure clam goodness.

I made a big old pot a couple of weeks ago. Ma and Grandma would make it with nothing but fresh clams, I had to use a couple dozen steamers and the rest were canned. I will have to atone for that, someday. undecided
