traditionally made with seafood like clams, fish, or corn, along with vegetables like potatoes and onions, and a creamy milk or tomato base. The dish's name is believed to come from the French word chaudière, referring to the large pots used by fishermen to cook the chowder with their catch and leftovers.

(I happen to prefer Manhattan, as was born there.)
