Ooh ooh, I think I can see why! :-"

Prefer the white.

Was an old lady over in md used to make some wicked good red.

And Waffle House doesn't have sticky floors like IHOP. 🌫

In my area we have a couple SunRise Grill restaurants that have good waffles and panckakes, but I almost always order their Ruben sandwich with home fry potatos.

My wife would agree with this.

👍

And despite my New England roots, I've tried a few.

I think my open mind was born at the Big E. (don't take that sentence out of context).

In the replica state house for Rhode Island, they serve up a quahog chili that might be the best food I've ever eaten.

I've had clam chili before, and it's usually a white chili kinda like what schmucks do for chicken chili.

But this is a true red chili and has beans.

It's has a little spice, and whole quahog clams. Neck, body and all.

I hafta wear a bib just to type about it.

Don't quote me, but there's a ton of good eats in Rhode Island.

Gotta go way down to Cranston to get the best Eye-tallion.

are you telling me that the made men drive to Cranston now?

2 8 oz cans of clams

2 8 oz bottles of clam juice

4 slices bacon

1 onion chopped

1 large celery stalk chopped

1.5 cups water

1.5 cups chopped tomatoes

1 large potato diced

1 medium carrot diced

2 Tbsp chopped parsley

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1 bay leaf

1 Tbsp tomato paste (add more if you want)

Cook the bacon until limp (the bacon is limp)

Add onion and celery and cook until tender

Drain the clams and just add the liquid to the pot (save the clams, RIP Wheelrite)

Add everything else to the pot except the clams

Cook 30 minutes

Add the clams

Cook 5 more minutes

Add salt and pepper to taste

Serve with French bread!

Cook the bacon until limp (the bacon is limp)

good thing you clarified that the bacon is limp.

otherwise there'd be a lot of cbidders getting sick from eating raw bacon

Frankie, just curious, iffin' you're eating a bowl of NE Clam Chowdah and run across a piece of bacon, what do you do? Do you stop eating the soup or finish it up?

I've asked a similar question to my vegetarian friends and they've come back with both answers.

Not if it's frozen

clams, like me, ain't kosher either.

so the bacon or other pork fat stuff is no problem.

Hadda Google “Kosher” to understand what you meant. But thanks, have a much better understanding of the whole Kosher thing.

fixed

so we do agree on some things: CA does have the best clam chowder... from SLO to Morro and Monterey Bay to SF

French Toast, if made well > than pancakes or waffles
