Dialectual differences...

"Stuffies"

You know, if it wasn't for the fact I was allergic to the fuckers, I'd probably eat the fuck out of them. Just sayin'.

Paradoxical.  Your shelfishness leaves more for me.

Also: quahog.

A quahog is a goddamn chowder clam everywhere else on the fucking Eastern Seaboard but in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It's also NOT a city, as Seth McFarlane has led you to believe.

"Stuffies"

You can have mine, too.

Not food.

If it wasn't for Roger taking the chowder away from me at Iggy's I would have shown you otherwise.

Ya know what pisses me off? American "Italian" Food... specifically all the people with a Hollywood gangster sounding last name that believes one should stew tomatoes for 10 hours because that's the "traditional" Italian style. How about all that "Italian" Pizza... Really? Your great great great grandma in Sicily made Deep Dish Pizza in the 1800's before your family came over on the boat? You sure she wasn't your Great Grandma in Chicago during the Depression? And what the fuck are you still talking about that boat for?!

I mean, FFS I don't care if you want to identify with the genetics of three or four generations ago, but at least try to get the food right... if you're gonna claim it as anything close to 'ethnic'. It's like a Mexican making food from Taco Bell and telling me its an old family recipe, something no self respecting Mexican would do (and I am told by my Puerto Rican friends that Mexicans have no self respect*). Either way, they STILL aren't about to hand me a Gordita and tell me its their Great Great Aunts recipe!!!


*My Mexican friends say other things about the Puerto Ricans...

Also: Chowder.

This is one chowder and it is CLAM.
This chowder is made with a cream base and is white, not orange.
This chowder is never clear, for that is the pretender to the name of chowder, and actually a soup.
Corn is right out.

Hey, it's Manhattan that's fucking that one up.

[Richter]

They have "Man" and "Hat" in the same name.  This says it all to me.

No, Rhode Island Chowder is the horrible clear stuff. Manhattan is tolerable if you WANT the tomatoes, but New England is the way to go.

I would give an ovary for Publix to come to New England and blast Stupid Stop and Steal out of the water.

Stop N Shop wasn't so bad. I like their store-brand almond butter.

But yeah, Publix is the jam.

Ask them both about the Dominicans. 

I once made empenadas that passed for Puerto Rican, barely.  I can't jsutify enough sazon and adobo to get them exactly the same.

Chowder:


Also Quiogue and Quogue are BOTH towns on Long Island and they're derived from the native american word for clam.

I once had a ridiculous argument with someone who assured me that Italians had mastered the tomato in the Middle Ages. It made the baby Scappi cry.

Wut.

Tomatoes are nightshades. They were considered poisonous. The earliest sign of Italian recipes using tomatoes isn't until the 1500s and it's Venetian and essentially just stewed tomatoes. Please tell me this person was not a SCAdian. I'm not even a cook and I know that.
