Sounds pretty awesome. A chowder like this is one of my standard
responses to finding a dozen or so people sitting in my living room...
and dining room... and kitchen... (they're pretty small), previously
unplanned-on.
They were also making corn chowder, I hear, over a wood fire on the
hearth at the Queens County Farm museum, which is an actual working
(mostly nineteenth century, some older) farm within New York City. The
Queens County Fair was this past weekend (I still have an ambition to
win the pie baking competition in the County Fair, but I guess I'd
need to enter one, then, huh?). When we arrived on Saturday, late in
the day, the guy in the kitchen was building a new fire, presumably
starting dinner for some staff members or something, and there was
little or no cooking being done at that moment, so we went to the
pickle vendor instead and got our fix.
I've decided that the product they sell as Hot Shots, which are basic
PA Dutch-type sweet bread-and-butter pickles with the addition of
diced Habanero chiles, is indisputable proof of the existence of G-d
and symbolizes the mandala-like co-existence of Heaven and Hell, the
wheel of kharma, and all sorts of other stuff. You name it.

when we all ought to worry about our own souls, and other people's
bellies."
