… whereas Manhattan Clam Chowder does have a tomato base. The feud began when Boston sold Mario Batali to New York, where he had a much more successful career.
As much as I don’t live in neither Massachusetts nor New York, I do like clam chowder and I don’t like tomato. (Why did the thug kill Tyson’s pigeon? Because pigeons are just dumb birds being loved by a dumb bird boy?)
Regarding Massachusetts laws and clam chowder, a search of the General Laws of Massachusetts for chowder returned only a bill proposing New England Clam Chowder as the official state dish, but it has not been passed into law. Searching clam returned no results regarding the preparation of any clam soup. None of the many sites claiming this to be true point to any actual law. So this should be filed under “NOT”.
I think the most of Mike Tyson for his love of animals. Anyone who is mean to animals deserves to be fought & who better to be their hero than Mr. Mike!

In Rhode Island, the secret ingredient in clam chowder is breast milk.

I didn’t know that Tyson raised pigeons. Some of the show breeds are very attractive birds,

Well, I’m relieved to hear that Massachusetts is protecting the people from the evils of tomatoes in their clam chowder.

I’m sure there’s a lot of law flaunting in Messoftwoshits.

I would have thought “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” would go with “E.T.”.

About that revenge fight for the pigeon killing – which one was the thug?

That’s because when you add tomatoes it turns into tomato soup and is no longer clam chowdah!

Is someone allowed to put tomato in it if he/she calls it something other than clam chowder? If the answer is “no”, then the law is unconstitutional.
