Yup, New England Clam Chowder (or Boston Clam Chowder) came from The Bay State, and you won’t see any tomatoes when you order a bowl of this type of clam chowder. It’s one of this nation’s greatest treasures, but we don’t think we can sum it up better than Joseph C. Lincoln once did:
A New England clam chowder, made as it should be, is a dish to preach about, to chant praises and sing hymns and burn incense before. To fight for. The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought for—or on—clam chowder; part of it at least, I am sure it was. It is as American as the Stars and Stripes, as patriotic as the national Anthem. It is ‘Yankee Doodle in a kettle.’
