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.
