Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,840 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 One can Progresso New England clam chowder 1/4 cup chopped pre-cooked crab meat. 1/2 tablespoon bacon bits...and up to a teaspoon of bacon fat if there's any left. 1 teaspoon Gulden's spicy mustard. A dash or two of Tabasco sauce, the original red stuff, not the weak-kneed green. A dash or two of Lawry's seasoned salt. Heat it up, stirring all the while. Dump it in a bowl or cup, add some ground black pepper if you'd like, and top it all with extra sharp cheddar cheese to your liking. I wash mine down with sarsaparilla when I can get it, or Dr. Pepper when I can't Makes a right fine lunch on a cold day while you're waiting for your arthritis meds to kick in. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sixgun Sheridan 4,461 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I may have to try this sometime. All of the canned clam chowders are so bland I almost fall asleep eating them. Or at least until I chomp down on the sand left in their clams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clay Mosby 819 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Sounds delish Forty, might have to give it a try. Oh, I got some of that salt you posted about. Damn, that stuff is potent. Great flavor, but needs to be used sparingly!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. James H. Callahan 2,272 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Sounds pretty good, long as it's not that fake "krab" stuff. Not sure what it is but don't much care for it. JHC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alpo 7,411 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) You know, as many times as I've seen Smokey and the Bandit, I didn't know this NOTICE until just now watching that clip.

Well a can of clam chowder, but like I said “no clams.” I didn't have any clams. That's why I tried the crab. About twice a year I go to Red Lobster and load up on crab. It takes freezing in stride.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 7,359 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Some years ago, I entered a chowder contest. I had made clam chowder but I wanted to be different I invented a recipe for shrimp chowder. OM*G I won. I have won three times. Now the people who come for a sample of my chowder get a cup with maybe 3TBS of chowder in it and a little slice of bread. I spend 120 to $150 on ingredients and two days making it, better on the second day. Last year no one made a seafood chowder but I lost to a friggin bean chowder, all their relatives showed up to vote. #$&**(*& BEANS $20 and two hours! grrrr. End of gripe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shrimp chowder sounds like something I need to try. I did make a shrimp bisque with tomato bisque soup and a bunch of add-ons. It was pretty good, but I'm not sure where I put the recipe.

There won’t be a contest this year so I’m aiming to make it for one or two of our fire stations. My landlady is a firefighter. 1/3 as much work as the contest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpo 7,411 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I know shrimp is expensive, especially if you don't live on the coast. But $150? My god, how much did you make? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Widder, SASS #59054 7,887 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Oh my goodness....... talk about 'flingin a cravin on me'. Love Clam Chowder. Throw in some fried oysters and you'll feel good for 40 days and 40 nights (no pun intended, 40) As for Sally Fields, there was a girl that worked in downtown Knoxville back in the late 70's - 80's that looked like Sally Fields except she was taller and little more endowed... if you know what I mean. Beautiful girl with black hair. Anyhow..... she liked me. Oh yea, no lie. She liked me A LOT. I won't get into all the details but we parted as friends. She was a super nice and sweet girl. In my younger years, I was as lucky as any man alive when it came to meeting nice, sweet and very beautiful girls. Because I couldn't decide on which one, most of them pranced and danced on down lifes highway and left me standing in the driveway waiting for the afternoon mail. ..........Widder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
