My goodness aren't we defensive of the wrong chowder!
There was also a legislation in some town in Maine declaring it illegal to walk down the street with untied shoes, what of it? Manhattan clam chowder is sacrilegious!
Why does Swiftdog refer to swiftdoggy third person-dog when he means to use the first person? It's cute, just curious.
I'm sorry Swiftdog, but that is kind of funny...insert "SwiftDog" for "kid"....
It's true. So true...Oh gosh and golly Wally!...considering I've never received any cookies from you, unlike other members here, your wounded SwiftPride act rings hollow.....

OK, I see how it is. I am a lone SwiftDog. That's fine. SwiftDogs are loners by nature.

I only use ""SwiftDogs" when making a generalization of the SwiftDog species or SwiftDogs in general.
No! I'm sorry, please don't think that.
Not that, I replied to the wrong quote. I'm an imbecile.

Okay, I'm finally finished with Salem's Lot! What's for dessert? I like Creme Brûlée, but my favorite go to cookie is an Oreo! Just picked up a pack of new chocolate chip cookie dough Oreos too.
I'm from a small town in Southern New Hampshire where no one really knows East from West.
School filed trips mean a day at Odiorne State Park, picking up horseshoe crabs, paying no attention to the historical bunkers.
We talk fast, with inflection. Yes, "wicked" is a modifier for almost anything. Place it before "effin" and you really have something there.
Cruising the strip means traveling up 93 to Manchester and driving up and down Elm. There is only a turning circle in our town, and it's the fourth biggest town in the whole state! (Last I checked)
We love to ride the T, it's just that we have no idea how to navigate and end up in Roxbury. (It's been so long that I placed an article in front of a route number!)
- don't worry, no one saw.
Clam chowder is serious business, I'll have you know. Even to those of us unfortunates not living in New England and blessed with more discerning taste buds.My goodness aren't we defensive of the wrong chowder!

Glad to hear you're owning that.Clam chowder is serious business, I'll have you know. Even to those of us unfortunates not living in New England and blessed with more discerning taste buds.
What choice do I have... being a deplorable, and all.Glad to hear you're owning that.
....y'all may be deplorable, but I must be a heretic....I cannot stand the sight or smell of any version of chowdah...only clams I can mussel down my gullet are deep fried...
Oh I love chowdah! And fried clams (only full belly)!
Something else made me queasy. Must've been the heat.
Yes, my mom has a story about this: "when I moved to New Mexico, I found that my boss ate nothing but Manhattan clam chowder. It was a continual source of friction between us. After returning from a trip to New England, I brought him a can of New England clam chowder as a souvenir so that he could savor and appreciate the difference. He placed the can on the shelf in his office for display, and refused to eat it. That's the end of my story."Manhattan Clam Chowder is not clam chowder. It is an abomination claiming to be clam chowder.

As a post script she adds "and don't even ask me about Rhode Island clam chowder!"
Sorry, had to put that in there. She has her own account which I made for her but she doesn't want to learn how to use this board. She was the original Stephen King fan in my family, she's also a published author, makes no sense to me.
On a different note, lobster bisque sounds delicious right now.

I would not even think of eating canned clam chowder. eh gods.
I could not agree more. Homemade New England clam chowder is thin and flavorful. There was one restaurant and Derry, "Church's" was the name of it, which served the best clam chowder I have ever tasted. It boasted numerous clam chowder awards despite its thickness. Ive heard that Church's moved to Londonderry. . may even be closed by now
I remember eating there one weeknight with my parents. My mom was having a particularly difficult time with some administrator she worked with. I think we were still on the first course when we looked over and the administrator in question walked in to eat!
We were seated on the second floor balcony overlooking the first floor, so the guy didn't see us. My dad and I wordlessly looked at each other and to my mother's utter horror, we chucked little pieces of warm bread at his head!
