If you are not a fan of seafood than today is NOT for you.
But if you are, get your bowl and spoon ready!???
According to nationaldaycalendar.com, "A clam chowder in its simplest form is a soup or stew containing clams or fish. The most common type of chowder includes milk or cream as well as potatoes, though the Manhattan clam chowder has tomatoes.
The origin of the word "chowder" is up for a little bit of debate. ?The French word for cauldron is "chaudiere."? The English word "jowter" means fish peddler. ?Both are on the hook for possible origins.
In chowder, along with the clams, it is common to find diced potatoes, onions (often sautéed with pork or bacon drippings) and celery."
Here is a list of the basic claim chowder variants:
