“*white’? — the Boston variety.
Throw in tomatoes and you wreck
the pot.

There are several things I dislike
about Manhattan, but their variety
of chowder, like their muggers and
traffic, leaves me with a burning
throat and a mild case of indiges-
tion.

There are two correct seasonings
for chowder. The simple bay leaf is
remarkable. For an alternate, tar-—
Tagon is delightful.

The broth should be reasonably
thick but not “cornstarchy.” I
want to be able to recognize the
vegetables, but not 2” chunks of
them,

I don’t want to crack a tooth on
a chunk of clamshell. Neither.do I
want to grind my teeth on sand.
Please do yourselves a favor and
check over tinned clams for shell.

If you’re. using fresh’ clams, the
‘kind you dug yourself, place them
in a bucket of ‘seawater. and’
sprinkle a bit of oatme:} over ‘the
top. After an hour-or two, rinse’
and steam the little critters.

- The oatmeal (so-I’m told) is so
unpalatable to clams that: they suck
‘it.in and can’t wait to spit it out:

When they do they huck out all the

sand they’ve ingested along with it.
‘Discard any clams with cracked .:
shells, or which: fail to close when

discard any, which failto open. - '
Since 1 don’t dig for clams, I use:

Fettucini With Clam Sauce

Fresh pasta varies as to how
much it swells during cooking. —

1 tin baby clams

1 small onion, finely chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tablespoons finely chopped

fresh basil

¥% cup coffee cream (2 and 2)
Freshly chopped parsley
Freshly ground pepper
Parmesan cheese

Drain clams, reserving the li-
quor. In a little butter, saute the
onion and garlic until limp but not
brown. Add clam liquor and sim-
mer until liquid is reduced by half.
Add cream and basil and simmer
until sauce is slightly thickened.
Add clams and heat through.

Serve over fettucini, garnished
with parlsey, pepper and Parmesan
cheese. There is no salt called for
as tinned clams can be quite salty.
