Eva’s Byte #477 – Chowdahheads

Far from signifying “a person regarded as stupid” which is the definition of chowderhead, this hardy New Englander/native Rhode Islander is broaching a clammy subject:

Chowdaheads—folks, like myself, who step right up to the window of a clam shack to order a cup or bowl of chowdah, a rich soup containing clams, potatoes, and onions.

And, I ask: what’s a serving of chowdah without a side of clamcakes?

In the Ocean State, there are three kinds of chowdah:

Rhode Island - our traditional clear-based broth, served mostly along the south coast.

Manhattan - tomato-based broth

New England - milk or cream-based broth (my favorite)

In the capacity of a writer, I’m rounding the bend to the finish line for drafting chapter 59 (1400 words thus far) and closing, along my Contemporary work in progress.

*As summer approaches, may each of us step right up to indulge our every whim.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
