American food gets its taste from the infusion of different food cultures. It’s unfair to claim a certain flavor as American, since their food is all about a fusion of flavors. The cuisine culture is a melting pot of flavorsome dishes, which hail from other countries. Since you can barely make out any homegrown essence on the platter, defining of what seems like American is difficult. The European spread is prevalent everywhere across America, only they get a newer name. On the contrary, the existence of clam chowder on the menu card may just want to stir a question across your mind. Is it American? New England’s famous dish will delight you more than anything else.



Gourmands who love to check out on the specialties of places, will never leave the Boston airport without tasting the clam chowder, a delicacy packed with deliciousness. The chowder is not just anything. It is indeed one of the greatest food discoveries by the connoisseur. During the 18th century or so they say, some variation was witnessed on the platter, whereby cod or even bass were added to the menu. Later with the end of 18th century ...
... clams started appearing on the plate. Today, clams are reigning over most recipes that find a place in the American’s gut. Clam milk has become one of the key ingredients for most dishes.



The classic clam chowder is now contended by the Manhattan variant. This New England thing entails a detailed formula which is often being experimented with different other flavors. The tomato based variant is popular and yet it has not achieved the admiration its classic cousin has. The creamy classic achieved its formula during the 20th century and is certainly one of the most flavorsome choices to be found on the American platter.



The clam used for the classic is the Eastern variety. It has thicker shell and has a meaty inside somewhat adding to the kick. However smaller variants are also found and yet are not considered suitable for chowder. When you are ordering American food at a restaurant in London or any other place ask for the New England variant. The classic has an unbeatable flavor, subtle and nice.
