History of chowder
Chowder in the old days was called any liquid dish (bread), which had to be slurped – sent to the mouth, without caring about the aesthetics of the process. The custom of cooking soups, not stews, was introduced by Peter the Great. In the 18th century, overseas soups (from the French soupe) were served at balls and receptions, they were eaten in a mannered manner, demonstrating a reverent attitude towards a foreign dish.
When preparing stew, they do not use meat and fish, traditionally they put only vegetables, cereals and flour, and there are not many of them – just to set off the taste of the main ingredient and make the stew thicker, capable of replacing the first and second courses. You should not turn the stew into porridge – a dish of well-boiled vegetables and cereals should remain liquid and light.
Since the stew, due to the lack of fish and meat, is a rather light dish for the stomach, it can be recommended for use by children and in case of illness.
Chowder today
Now we cook soups, and chowder is called food, the taste of which is far from ideal, or soup cooked in haste from what was “lying around” in the refrigerator and on the shelves of kitchen cabinets. Although the stew can be put on a par with borscht, cabbage soup, hodgepodge and fish soup. According to the consistency and method of preparation, these are, of course, soups, but, like stew, they are given their own names and features. In order for a liquid dish to have the right to be called a stew, one ingredient must be “soloted” in it. Another important difference is that if the soup is cooked in meat broth, the stew has rather a light decoction of the main ingredient. If potatoes are used as the main product – potato stew is obtained, if cabbage – cabbage stew, if mushrooms – mushroom stew.
The most famous is lentil stew, which has become a symbol of neglect of family values for the sake of meager material goods. For a meal of lentils, Esau gave his younger brother Jacob his right of seniority. However, in the Old Testament, where this story is mentioned, the word “stew” does not occur, it appeared when retelling the biblical parable to emphasize how low Esau estimated his birthright.
There are others, such as corn chowder and the Belgian fish chowder vaterzoi, now also made with chicken.
