Why is it so freakin hard to find a can of Manhattan Clam Chowder?
Look - I prefer New England Style, but sometimes I just want something different.

So I hit three separate big grocery stores - all have different variants on the NE Style, but no NY style.



WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO FIND????

2. Ahhh, but you live in New York
Home of Manhattan Clam Chowder (please don't tell me it was really invented in Terre Haute)

I live in California, which seems to think there is only one kind of chowder

Whey I said Manhattan Clam Chowder, the folks at the store if that was a brand or something...

3. Because it's blasphemy...
a direct affront to Triton and Poseidon. May you be struck by the holy trident.

7. For Chrissakes the two soups only have a name and meat in common!
Totally different soups!

Apples and Oranges!

4. if i remember correctly my local market offers Progresso
in both varieties. i'm in the SF Bay Area. if your local market stocks Progresso, just ask them to order the MCC for you.
