Best Quahog Chowder Pronounced Ko Hog Recipes
QUAHOG CHOWDER
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.

RHODE ISLAND QUAHOG CHOWDA
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.

Steps:
- 1. This is simmered so that you don't toughen the meat of the Quahogs, and a bowlful topped with a little browned salt pork on top, and with chowder crackers to put in it is the way we love it.
- 2. Some people prefer a really thick chowder,IF SO,make a roux of flour,butter and water, and add to the vegetables when they're done; and the more potatoes you add the thicker it becomes. When it is refrigerated and reheated all the flavors are improved. Some say CHOWDAH, I say chowder. Oh add a little fresh ground black pepper too. It's delicious!
