‘The chowder shall not die’

Written By RWhitcomb-editor

New England clam chowder

“Alas, what crimes have been committed in the name of chowder! Dainty chintz-draped tea rooms, charity bazaars, church suppers, summer hotels, canning factories — all have shamelessly travestied one of America’s noblest institutions; yet while clams and onions last, the chowder shall not die.’’

— Louis P. De Gouy (1876-1947), in The Gold Cook Book
