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:
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:
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
Notice is says right there "milk OR TOMATO base"????
Both the dictionary.com and the Merriam-Webster entries were done by New
Yorkers, so they don't count.

....claim to have made it their own by *******izing it beyond
all recognition. :-)
Please show me any research that states that a chowder can not contain
tomatoes.....
No research required. I have primary sources that support my argument,
comprising my whole extended family and virtually the entire population of
Boston.

:-)
Oh, I see, so like usual, you just stick your fingers in your ears and
yell Nah, Nah, Nah.........
Must be hell going through life so narrow minded.

Bassy,
Can't you tell that John is pulling your leg?

Oh, no he's not. He was absolutely serious to begin with, THEN when
anybody with any knowledge pointed out to him he was wrong, then and
only then did he start acting like he was *just kidding*...

Bassy,
I read it from the very beginning that he was kidding, meaning that he
only liked the ONLY liked cream based chowder, and that is the only true
chowder, the rest is just an imitation of chowder. I read all of his
comments to be tongue in check. You want to be careful or people will
think you are trying to do an imitation of another NG regular who is
always looking for a fight.

Then why did he make this statement?

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.

He was kidding, sometimes it is hard to tell when someone is talking
tongue in cheek in Usenet. It is like people joking that only pork or
only beef qualifies for BBQ. It really isn't a big deal, even if he was
serious, which I doubt.
