I live in Texas and we don't know a clam from anything--or--at least I don't.
I have eaten what I thought was good clam chowder in a week or two stay in Boston---that was years ago,-- there was some rumor about a guy in a church with laterns and, I believe a guy on a horse---I don't know the outcome, I left for LA before I heard the last report---I digress. It was good Boston clam chowder and from what I know there are several types of chowder, NY style comes to mind.
Are there variations in clam chowder--I know there is between Boston and NY--A good reciept would be in order, not that I will rush out to try it as I have only canned clams avaiable to me--if in fact they are clams, I would never know.
Blessings
