New England Clam Chowder Day
January 21, 2024
National New England Clam Chowder Day is held on January 21 each year in the United States. There are many types of chowders, but none can come close to the famous New England Clam Chowder. This type of chowder is a soup base made with milk or cream, potatoes, onions and, of course, clams.
It is believed that the first ever published recipe including clams in chowder was released in 1832 and that in 1836 it was first served in a public restaurant. Clam chowder as we know it was first served at this date by Union Oyster House, the national oldest continuously operating restaurant located in Boston.
