About National Clam Chowder Day
Ends: Feb 25, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Clam Chowder Day is one of two unofficial events celebrating clam chowder. The other is on January 21 and is specific to the creamy white sauce New England Style, which is the most popular in the United States. There are several varieties of clam chowder, the most common being New England (white sauce), Manhattan (red sauce), and Rhode Island Clam Chowder (clear broth).
Chowder is a cross between a stew and a soup, essentially made of vegetables and fish stewed in a cauldron. Calderia is Latin for a "place for warming things." Jowter is old English for a "fish peddler." It is believed that this is the origin of the word chowder. The first chowder recipes originate in France and England, among the coastal fishing villages. The custom was to have a cauldron simmering in the house, awaiting the fishing fleet's return to port. A portion of each man's catch would be tossed in the kettle, helping to feed the community and celebrate the ship's safe return.
Clams were an easy choice and could be gathered without the need to go out on a ship. The seafood was ideal for chowder, especially when the weather was terrible. Of course, clams could only be harvested at certain times of the year, so the chowder was often made from haddock, cod, or other local fish. The chowder was a staple of the working classes.
Later, chowder recipes included other meats like ham, bacon, and poultry. Clam chowder became a favorite with East Coast Americans, especially on Fridays, due to a Christian custom of only eating fish on Fridays.
