Hey guys, question about Clam Chowder.
Re: Hey guys, question about Clam Chowder.
I personally enjoy it. I also love the pork rib that is in the meal. Definitely eat it hot tho. Some crackers crumbled in it is good.
Re: Hey guys, question about Clam Chowder.
Microwaved it and added a couple of shakes of OldBay. Glad I put a plate over the top of the bowl, because something in there exploded with a pop, and you can see by the bowl that the cleanup would've been epic.
Re: Hey guys, question about Clam Chowder.
Well this is a very interesting topic and I can see some people do give it high marks or atleast a passing grade. Other seem to dislike it or won't touch it
Have some thoughts on the subject, but admit have not tried this entree
I have always wondered how it made the MRE menue final cut. Let alone paired with pork rib. Shellfish based stew would seem like a hard sell even when variety is desired. I could see older officers and senior NCO's questioning a Seafood soup in a pouch for American troops as a combat meal
Clams are tricky on the stomach for some people.
Clam Chowder in the USA has always been sort of a special seasonal dish favored in cold weather. (popular in coastal areas)
It is not like Beef or Chicken stews and many parts of the USA it is not eaten
I am not a big fan canned clam Chowder.
But do enjoy homemade or restaruant clam or oyster chowder. If it is made the typical American style with fresh clams oyster crackers and plenty of Black pepper. I could not see it being served in hot weather or as a eaten cold dish.
05/06 many American troops would be eating sitting in hot climates. Maybe in the cold Mts of Afghanistan it might be a welcome side dish, but it would have to piping hot and loaded down with salt and pepper. MRE snack bread does not match Clam Chowder.
It does not seem like a good choice for a millitary field meal, either in a pouch or metal can I would think the Potato soup with big pieces of potatos and no meat, let (alone sea food) would been selected as a pork rib side dish.( Santa Fe rice a far better choice than Chowder for the MRE Mc Rib
)
