About National Clam Chowder Day
Clam Chowder is a soup or broth that was first made by settlers from Britain or France in the 18th century. Many regional variations have evolved such as New England Clam Chowder which is made with milk, or clam chowder with tomato which is the basis for Rhode Island Clam Chowder.
The dish originated along the eastern seaboard but is now commonly served in restaurants throughout the United States, particularly on Fridays when American Catholics traditionally abstained from meat.
