new england clam chowder
Clam chowder is any of several chowder soups in American cuisine containing clams. In addition to clams, common ingredients include diced potatoes, salt pork, and onions. It is believed that clams were used in chowder because of the relative ease of harvesting them. Clam chowder is usually served with saltine crackers or small, hexagonal oyster crackers.
Clam chowder originated in the Northeastern United States, but is now commonly served in restaurants throughout the country. Many regional variations exist, but the three most popular are New England or "white" clam chowder, which is made with milk or cream; Manhattan or "red" clam chowder, which includes tomatoes; and Rhode Island or "clear" clam chowder, which omits both.
So, I'm tempted to acquire a 3" Ruger SP101 in .327 Federal Magnum. I realized most of my experience with that model is mid-1990s to maybe early-2000s vintage. Any reason why the new ones are a no go? Or they as solid (as in an anvil) as they were, say, in the era of Woodstock '94?
Thanks!
