Today there's a big football game where New York and New England are competing for a title that some people consider very important. For those who aren't really into football, The Gracious Bowl reminds us that Manhattan and New England have a culinary rivalry that's been going on for years. Of course, they're talking about clam chowder.
There are other clam chowder variations, but even Wikipedia on Clam Chowder says New England or Manhattan are the two main types, and restaurants traditionally serve one or the other. I started this post with good intentions of featuring both clam chowder varieties equally, but it soon became obvious that among food bloggers New England Clam Chowder definitely had the advantage. What's your favorite type of clam chowder, and who do you hope will win the Superbowl?
