January 21: Relish a Timeless Maritime Classic this New England Clam Chowder Day
Few things are more welcoming after a cold day at sea than clam chowder! This cozy seafood delight originated in French fishing villages in the 16th century. Considered food of the poor, it once contained any type of fish available, salt pork, and dry tasteless biscuits.
Now, we enjoy varieties featuring cream, tomatoes, and use salty crackers instead of hardtack biscuits with more resemblance to cardboard than any cracker or bread we'd eat today. New England recipes never use tomatoes and feature the potato and cream base. Dishfolio food bloggers found not only traditional recipes but also new interpretations that feature additional types of fish and new spices. Many of these can be made in your crock-pot so you can come home to dinner already prepared. Don't wait until your next visit to a seafood restaurant-cook clam chowder at home tonight!
