Sure we do and vegetarians are still in the minority so you won't have any worries about starving because there is no animal flesh on the menu. Now that that excuse is out of the way, when will you be here?!

Now that I'm sure that I won't have to eat sea creatures or green things I can't pronounce, I have hopes of making the Kon.....but still very small hopes. We all know how well me and planning work together
Eeeeooowwwww........They got lots of lahbstah......

Three observations from my one trip to Maine... No one does lobster better, their mosquitoes are the size of small birds, and they do chowder wrong.
Well, you got two out of three right. We all know that tomatoes should never, ever be put in clam chowder.Three observations from my one trip to Maine... No one does lobster better, their mosquitoes are the size of small birds, and they do chowder wrong.

I think he may be trying to kill me.....Don't tell her that--she'll never come!
Rubbish! Milk and cream belongs in cereal, not soup. If you take the clams out of New England Clam Chowder, what have we got... Cream of Potato Soup! I understand why ya'll dump a bunch of crackers over the top of it... You’re trying to kill the taste.Well, you got two out of three right.

If you take the tomatoes out of Manhattan Clam Chowder, you have real New England Clam Chowder not that insult to gastronomy that is Manhattan Clam Chowder.Rubbish!

And besides, New York is not part of New England so can't claim to make New England Clam Chowder no matter how much they say it's clam chowder and then defile it with tomatoes. 
It’s Manhattan Clam Chowder. I've never ever seen anything called Manhattan-New England Clam Chowder. And anyway, my preferred version is healthier... So there!If you take the tomatoes out of Manhattan Clam Chowder, you have real New England Clam Chowder not that insult to gastronomy that is Manhattan Clam Chowder.
And for the first time ever, it looks like you’re on the Right and I’m on the Left.
Manhattan Clam Chowder
Steam 1 dozen large clams until the shells are wide open. Add no water, but reserve the liquor (juice) from the clams and cut the clams into small pieces.
Try out (render) a 3-inch cube of salt pork cut in small pieces in a soup kettle, add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 leek, halved lengthwise and finely sliced, and cook until the vegetables are lightly browned. Add 2 medium-sized potatoes, cut in cubes, 4 (or more, up to 6) tomatoes, peeled and chopped, 1 stalk celery, chopped, 1 green pepper, chopped, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon thyme (dried), 5 cups water, and the liquor (juice) from the clams. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the kettle, bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add the minced clams and 1/2 teaspoon caraway seed and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Serve very hot with chowder biscuits.

LOL. That recipe is from the 1930's. I think that's what they were first called. And we've hit common ground with oyster crackers. I grew up with these...

And there really are chowder biscuits. I guess that was back when everything was hand made.
