National Clam Chowder Day

National Clam Chowder Day is a celebration that honors the popular soup dish made with clams, potatoes, onions, and sometimes bacon, in a creamy broth. The origins of this food day are unclear, but clam chowder has been enjoyed in the United States since the early 18th century, particularly in New England where it is a regional specialty. The dish has evolved over time with different variations like Manhattan clam chowder and New England clam chowder. On this day, people often indulge in a bowl of clam chowder at restaurants, homes, or events to savor the flavors of this classic seafood soup.
