Hope you didn’t go to Wikipedia. Definitions there are mostly made up by chowder-heads. :)

Merriam-Webster

Definition of chowder

:a soup or stew of seafood (such as clams or fish) usually made with milk or tomatoes, salt pork, onions, and other vegetables (such as potatoes); also :a soup resembling chowder.


That's all I'm saying.

Thanks for the clarification! Different sources say different things.

But in looking at two other sources I hadn't looked at before, they simply describe a stew or thick soup made with seafood (what's the deal with corn chowder, then?). No base mentioned. So your thesis holds.

I will say the best chowder I've had in my life, clams or not, was a seafood chowder in 1999 in a little restaurant in Doolin, Ireland. It was cream-based. I still day-dream about it.

After several pints of Guinness draft, almost all food tasted wonderful to me, too. :p
