Just another thread in the General Chit Chat Forum...

Well, this thread was for one of my friends (it still is) who just made an account on ATS, but I really don't know what to talk about. I guess we'll end up chatting about anything.

Who wants chowder?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I have a 6 month old puppy that now weighs 86 lbs. He was tiny when I got him at 8 weeks old. I only weigh 110 lbs.

When people ask me what breed he is, I tell them Shetland Puppy. He's a Great Pyrenees.

You did say anything...right?

Actually I've always wanted to ask Americans about their clam chowder, because we grew up with a wide variety of local seafood here (which is now sadly collapsing), but clams and chowder were never really known.

Now I see bags of frozen clams (I suppose commercially grown in Asia), and I wonder what one could do with them?

I have a new puppy too! His name
is Jack and he is a Jackabee, that
would be miniature Beagle and Jack
Russell. He's a little guy right now
and such a joy!

OP did you make chowder?

For some reason, I've always wished when I see anything as little as a newborn puppy, that they stay the same size.

I prefer the tomato base Manhattan clam chowder. Much more flavor, and spicy. If you plan on buying the frozen clams, they work well for clam linguine. Also do fine in chowder. Save the broth from steaming them to use in your base.

I have no clue what one could do with them besides eat them!

Also, I've came to the realization that I don't even eat chowder. I think I said that as a conversation starter...Haha I can't remember

Congrats CD...bet he is adorable. My big boy named himself...Bear. He's going through the large breed growing pains. Vet said Great Pyrs are the most common breed to get them. Special diet, and keeping him calm helps some, but it breaks my heart to see him limping when it's bad.

Also, I shall be back - I'm off to do some recreational research, so carry on people!

You do know...by creating this anything goes thread, you've created a monster.....

On the chowder: I once saw a program called "When chefs attack", where they showed all kinds of sickening behavior by chefs caught on hidden cameras.
The advice of the one chef was: Never eat the chowder, they put any old slop and sometimes bodily fluids into that.
So that put me off the idea of chowder for a while.

That would put me off too

But, as a retired restaurant owner...I can tell you making chowder and bisque are not the easiest items to cook. They require the freshest of ingredients and controlled temps or they scorch easily.

Don't let some ratings whore tv show turn you away from trying some well made chowder....delicious.

Ick, think I will pass on the chowder now too!

No need to avoid it in a reputable place, I suppose.
I mean these places on the program seemed like serious dives.

Try making it at home. That way you know exactly what goes in.

What kind of itty bitties do you have.? The ankle piranha kind, or the dust bunny kind...j/k


I love little dogs...they often have the best personalities. Huge hearts in tiny bodies.

Oh, great: Another puppies and chowder thread....
