RHODE ISLAND QUAHOG CHOWDA



Rhode Island Quahog Chowda image

In Rhode island, clam chowder is prepared with a clear broth, unlike the creamy white clam chowders found elsewhere in New England and also different from the red broth found in Manhattan style clam chowder. And ,oh yes, they use quahogs, a large cousin of the clam.*(If quahogs are unavailable, just use whatever clams you can get.) Adapted from Yankee magazine.

QUAHOG CHOWDER



Quahog Chowder image

The clam that Rhode Islanders call a quahog possesses an impressive variety of names, and even the word "quahog" has more than one spelling and a number of pronunciations: KO-hog, KWO-hog, and KWA-hog. Indians used quahog shells to make beads that were used as money (called wampum). Although quahogs can be found along the North American Atlantic coast from Canada's Gulf of Saint Lawrence to Florida, these clams are particularly abundant between Cape Cod and New Jersey. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
