"Manhattan style clam chowder"

Isn't that oxymoronic? :-)

No, not at all. Why would you think so?

*This* chowda is delicious!
 

Oh my -- must everything be explained to you two in chapter and verse?

Research has naught to do with it, bassie. No reasearch required. Simply
put, if its got tomato in it - so-called "Manhattan style" - it ain't clam
chowda. Period.

Typical flim-flam wherein New Yorkers, frantically casting about for any
little thing that they could put forth as having made their high-density,
relentlessly frenetic lives seem a bit more enviable and sophisticated, took
something that had already enjoyed centuries of success and acceptance in
its own right, and claim to have made it their own by *******izing it beyond
all recognition. :-)

So, something which existed long before you were born no longer exists
because you don't like the name? That's rich! :-)

Really? What do you have that states such? Who ever told you that
chowder can't have tomato in it? This is what dictionary.com has on the
subject:

chow·der ( P ) Pronunciation Key (choudr)
n.
A thick soup containing fish or shellfish, especially clams, and
vegetables, such as potatoes and onions, in a milk or tomato base.
A soup similar to this seafood dish: corn chowder.

Notice is says right there "milk OR TOMATO base"????

From Merriam Webster:

Please show me any research that states that a chowder can not contain
tomatoes.....

Another decent thread sent down the toilet. Don't you guys have anything
better to do than argue over chowder?

Jim, you should be the last person on earth to chastise others about
anything that is said, or written in this newsgroup in regards to a
particular thread. Shall I google you up some of your recent gems?
Also, you do realize you don't have to read them, don't you?

Give it up Kevin. I can certainly post your recent "gems"
also..........they far outshine mine. ;-)

So be my guest if you wish.

As suspected of you Jim. You are such a childish boor. Whenever I take
you to the mat, instead of acting like an adult you instantly resort to
calling me Kevin. I'll ask again, would you like to take the $5000
challenge to prove to you that I'm not Kevin? Huh, what was that,
Dennis?
