"Manhattan style clam chowder"

Isn't that oxymoronic? :-)

I know. It's frustrating, isn't it? Chances are very good that Manhattan
style originated with Italians.

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! :-)

Main Entry: 2chowder
Function: noun
Etymology: French chaudière kettle, contents of a kettle, from Late Latin
caldaria -- more at CAULDRON
: a soup or stew of seafood (as clams or fish) usually made with milk or
tomatoes, salt pork, onions, and other vegetables (as potatoes); also : a
soup resembling chowder

I have unimpeachable documentation that the researcher and editor who
assembled this Merriam-Webster entry are both New Yorkers.

QED

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"????

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?
