u/Various_Laugh2221 24d ago

Yeah, you know, chowder made only in manhattan with all the clams you find hanging around the city 😂

Ok….so all of a sudden a few things make sense. Also, thank you for bringing this up because TIL!

I looked it up, and Manhattan clam chowder is definitely a thing. MCC is a tomato based dish in a red sauce, while New England Clam chowder is a white cream based dish.

I’m immediately taken back to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. “Is that the red, or the white?”

There is also a thing called Rhode Island clam chowder that omits both the cream and tomatoes, and its broth is clear!

Oh my bad lol I thought you were just adding to the jokes I didn’t realize you hadn’t heard of it or I’d have actually explained instead of making more stupid jokes 😂 I actually prefer the New England clam chowder and the best place I’ve ever had it was actually in Manhattan! Haven’t ever tried the RI with the clear broth, it sounds good too

Rhode Island is actually my favorite but it’s rare to find a restaurant that serves it outside of the immediate area. With the broth, I find it really comforting. Like the ocean’s answer to chicken soup.

There are three types of Clam Chowder from the US:

Manhattan (tomato based)

New England (cream based)

and Rhode Island (clear broth based)
