The World's Best Clam Chowder

Every damn restaurant on the Oregon Coast has a gigantic banner out front that reads "The World's Best Clam Chowder." Well guess what, fuckers? Your clam chowder could not possibly be the "World's Best" because mine is better. Let's begin:
The base of this recipe is pretty close to the Crab and Corn Chowder I made a while ago but varies a little bit so pay attention. Toss 3tbl butter, 7 diced red potatoes, 4 diced ribs of celery, 1 diced onion, and a little salt and pepper in a large pot. Saute until the potatoes are softened. If you are totally retarded and can't tell by the resistance against the wooden spoon, you can taste test the potatoes to make sure they are not crunchy.
Once the potatoes are softened add 5tbl flour (in parts) and continuously stir over medium heat until completely combined (~2 min). Add 1 8oz bottle of clam juice and stir. Then, add 2.5-3c milk, depending on how thick you want it, 1c at a time until it has been fully incorporated. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add 2 6.5oz cans of chopped/minced clams with the juice and let that bitch simmer for no more than ten minutes. Be sure to stir regularly lest you get that nasty soup skin on top. That shit is so gross. Serve with freshly ground black pepper and a little Tabasco if you wish. Eat it.

If I purchased fresh Oregon clams this would have been called $100 chowder...

New England can suck my anus!

Some Irish shit.

You are correct. Unfortunately, my lady is a pescatarian.

CHRIST! Marie, Potatoes are long thin things usually square in cross section ( I hope your brains is not being stretched so far) made of flower or something - ask the numbskull writing this post. Oh, you did, sorry. Don't bother visiting by blog in the hopes of understanding anything. Be happy.

I enjoyed making this one. I diced some turkey ham fine and fried it up before throwing it in. It came out great.

Thanks for the recipe.

Blog awards? Get a life you fuck and think of something original to blog about.

Celery in your chowder? Fuck off!

Canned clams? Shoot yourself!

When your culinary skills grow up then I'll share with you a real recipe. Until then... Keep bloggin' about your gradeschool recipes that only a comatose patient would find acceptable.

Dear pussy anonymous bitch,

I like celery. Suck my dick.

Sorry I don't go through the trouble of shucking 100 fucking fresh clams to make chowder. Anyone who does is a retard since the flavor is so masked you can barely tell anyway.

Who the fuck asked you for your recipes? Oh right, no one.

Grow a brain, loser

Thanks for checking back. That means a lot to me. If you were not such a retard you would know you don't have to sign up for "my shit" to post a non-anon comment but somehow I am not surprised. Pussy.
