maine corn chowder
(2 ratings)
Or as we say in Maine, 'Chowdah'. Another great recipe from my Cooking Down East cookbook. It starts with a little story... America's canning industry was founded in Maine over a century ago when Isaac Winslow perfected the steam retort, which made possible the commercial canning of fresh foods....such as canned corn. The picture is not mine, but from the Maine Diner in Wells, Maine. Just ate there this past weekend!
