CLAM CHOWDER thread -- New England or Manhattan ?

[Mikey]

For me New England (also sometimes known as Boston) is always the first choice.

I think Manhattan just tastes like a spicy vegetable soup

What's your fav ?

[EmergencyIan]

New England/Boston, for me, for sure!

^^^ Me too. However I do love spicey stuff. I'll have to try the Manhattan.

I like both, but much prefer New England. That stuff is creamy goodness.

Not a big chowder fan either way...

Being originally from Connecticut we only ate N.E. chowder. It's great stuff.

[Donkey Hoatie]

In the end, there can be only one. . .

And that is New England clam chowder. Manhattan clam chowder is for communists. Are you a commie?

[Goblin19]

New England, and it's not close.

[JPkempo]

New England if I had to.
but realy Ick for both.

I like both and my preference depends on whether or not I want something more brothy (Manhattan) or stick to your ribs creamy (New England).

In Maryland, they use crab instead of clams. The red based broth style isn't even referred to as a chowder, it's Maryland Crab Soup. We don't call it chowder around here unless it is milk/cream based....otherwise it's soup.
