Yes, it is annoying when recipes are purposefully crippled while pretending to be generous. It does happen sometimes, though rarely, I hope. Or maybe they were just saying A) "most people don't cook much nowadays so in all likelihood our rendition is much better" or B) "even if your own _is_ just as good as ours, we sure want you to believe ours must be better". Anyway, the recipe did look good, despite perhaps being different from the "Real Thing". So, does anyone who has both made chowder using this recipe and also tasted the Real Thing have an opinion re whether we got the Real Recipe and if not what might have to be changed to make it into the Real Recipe? --- Brent
