As we sat down to eat, she handed me a bowl of essentially warm skim milk with chunks of either haddock or cod. I gagged it down so as not to be disrespectful, but that was the end of the road for me and thin chowder!  |
Over 60 years ago my late mother prepared the same fish chowder as described above, and it was a family tradition on many Friday nights. I also gagged it down and washed it away with anything available. To this very day I refuse to even consider eating any fish chowder at the risk an early trip to the bathroom porcelain. Just the very thought of it makes my stomach roll. Yuck !!!!!!!
