I tried clam chowder nce from a can when I was on the West Coast of the US...

I don't get it -- what do people like about it?
- the clams were really small and just kinda salty
- the rest of the soup was this broken down chunky sort of potato mash
- yuck

maybe the clam chowder i ate was badly made? can you describe what a nice clam chowder tastes or looks like?

I'm not too fond of canned clam chowder. Eat it homemade, it's so much better.

Ehh.. I LOVE clam chowder but the way you described it made it seem kinda gross. Good clam chowder is usually smooth and creamy and the clams are not supposed to taste very salty. >_< Maybe you should try it somewhere else. The east coast is known for having the best clam "chowda". xD

i LOVE clam chowder. i didn't like it at first, but my mom tricked me into trying it once and i've loved it ever since XD

YUM-O!! =D i loove clam chowder

its my favorite soup of all time... its soo creamy and nice and it just tastes soo good!

New England Clam Chowder is the best. Yum, I like the creamy texture. Seafood chowder is good too, where there's like bits of crab or whatever. I can live off of that stuff. Canned food can never compare to the real thing, whether it be clam chowder or.. uh, canned mac n cheese.

Went to the beach with my friend and we got clam chowder in a bowl made of bread. Very good.

yeah clam chowder on northeast is the best...and you have to eat in the cold weather...it will be more hearty.

i love new england clam chowder
maybe you should try it at a restaurant or perhaps homemade.

one of my fav soup after mushroom

i think you were just unlucky and had some gross clam chowder
clam chowder tastes like some ordinary cream soup IMO
but i still love it hahaha

Ehh I hate it ;x
It's just too creamy and thick.

clam CHOWDAH <3

uhhhh salty clams o_O??? Yep... you probably tried a bad kind.

I don't like clam chowder either because it is too salty (the soup, not the clams), i don't like clams and i can't have bacon.

yummmmmyy<3

i love clam chowder!
i always eat it with french bread

mmmm...clam chowder. yhummy So good to eat on a cold day. Now I'm really hungry XD

The clam chowder you had was probably badly made. A good clam chowder is exactly the opposite of what you described XD

i agree you can only find good clam chowder in restaurants

the one in panera bread is decent.

personally, i dont like it
maybe if i had it at a restaurant it would be different

but the ones from cans are !!

Clam Chowder is the best ! It's nice and thick and ultra delicious.
But some people can't make it >_< And then it tastes horrible.

I love clam chowder. It taste really good!

clam chowder is heaven <3
especially homemade clam chowder.

i love clam chowder!! has anyone tried eating it with noodles? lol... like instead of spaghetti sauce you use clam chowder? pretty tasty ! i had "gourmet" clam chowder in Virginia... sooooo good!!

i like it~ specially the one in san francisco w/the big sour dough ^^

clam chowder is so good~~~~ love it....i say try it again....

I LOVE CLAM CHOWDERR!

i dont understand when people don't like it LOL esp my friends. im like dude yall live in boston you suppose to like it hahaha but whatev

yeah some canned ones are really gross. the best canned one is prob campbell's chunky new england clam chowder. maybe you should try that if u dont wanna like go to a resturant or have a homemade one

just reading all the responses to this is making me want clam chowder. only the true bostonians says "chowda" i'm not one of those.

omg i love clam chowder .. you should get the bread bowl ones .. hella good .. then again depends where you get them x]
so good on cold days though .. i want some now haha

Clam Chowerrrr in a Bread Bowl oh my goodness... the best one's I've tried were in Baltimore Maryland. Simply amazinggg I can't wait to go back and get another bread bowl clam chowder ._. so good.

i love clam chowder!....i like any kind of soup...almost

I only eat the clams in clam chowder. The rest of the soup doesn't taste that great for me.

i dont like clam chowder. It tastes werid to me

I used to love love clam chowder!
But I haven't had any good New England clam chowder in ages... only crap imitations. ;\
I kinda can't stand it now, unless it's genuinely yum.

i love clam chowder with crushed saltines in it <33
i like it by itself too (:

um, it obviously tasted like crap because it's from a can. try the real stuff

I love how it's chunky and I like to eat it with bread. Mm..I want some now!

I looove clam chowder~ xD It's so yummy! I think you just ate a bad kind. The clam chowder that I eat is creamy and theres pieces of sliced potato and the clam is really good.

clam chowder is amazing! I even love the canned stuff, but from good resturants it's just amazing. So creamy, chunky, hearty, and just mmmm

i love clam chowder. i just love all cream soups.
maybe you should try it from a restaurant and not a can.

I like clam chowder!!

And I hate clams/shellfish XD

That's the power of clam chowder for you~
(now I really want some ^__^)

Of course it tastes bad in a can! Try a restaurant or somewhere else. It might be better. I like clam chowder, but if I eat too much of it I get sick.

maybe because it was from a can? try it homemade or maybe... the brand wasn't good? idk.
but i love it

i love clam chowder too. sf has the best clam chowdeerrrr. X]

canned clam chowder can't compare to freshly made chowder, you were unfortunate to get a rotten can.

Never eat the canned stuff.
Maybe that's why.

The best ones I've eaten are either homemade or from restaurants.

i LOVE clam chowder. i always get this whenever im at the buffet.
i guess it was because it's CANNED. canned soups arent really tasty like homemade ones.

Clam Chowder's nice ! <3

Maybe you shouldn't try it from the can Try the ones from the restaurants ! Yummy yum !

I LOVE clam chowder..but not from a can!! haha
clam chowder with a bit of lemon juice. so good.

I don't like it either way.

omg, favorite food ever<3
im from the east coast so
i never tried other places'
clam chowders. i guess i
should be proud that i live
in the northeast? (= you
should definitely go try
clam chowder again. i ate
some from Campell's and
it was really creamy and
good. go for it! everybody
seems to love it (=

-Bee.

i used to love clam chowder
now..not so much
i dunno, its too creamy and clam-y for me
