Clam Chowder
Great clam chowders from around New Hampshire
Whether you savor yours with oyster crackers crushed on top, with coarsely ground black pepper, a dash or two of Tabasco, thick or thin, with flour or not, made with salt pork or bacon, heavy on the cream or thinned out with milk and clam juice, clam chowder is so popular that every state seems to claim its own version. Here in New Hampshire, we are partial to our New England-style.
