The word “chowder” is derived from the French word “chaudiere” which signifies caldron that refers to the image container in which the French sailors threw the catch of the particular day in order to make the stew. This particular custom was then carried to Canada and after this was sent back to England during the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Clam chowder became a popular recipe in New England, mainly among the sailors. When the century came to an end, every area in New England was known for the new version of the chowder; with a cream in a single area, with lobsters in one another with several potatoes in other areas.
