Description
Summary:chowder n The diet which these hardy men have, is nearly the same every day (during the time they are on the fishery), namely, what is called _chowder_, for breakfast, dinner, and supper. This is made in the following manner: a fish, just caught, is hung up, and the fins stripped off; it is then skinned, cut up in large pieces, and put into a kettle, under which is laid some rashers of salt pork or beef, and some broken pieces of biscuit; then the whole is just covered with water, and boiled about ten minutes, with some dry herbs, if they have any, and a little thickening. This mess is palatable, and extremely nutritious;. PRINTED ITEM W.Kirwin 11/77 JH 11/77 Used I Used I Withdrawn Checked by Jordyn Hughes on Mon 18 Jul 2016, chowder n in DNE with different meaning
