Hi Dave,

 DD> Sort of. What makes it unique to the area is (I think) carrot. I only
 DD> have one specific to North Carolina clam chowdah recipe.

 RH> I'll have to look; I've got several NC cook books. I'll grab them next
 RH> time I get up as I just got settled into my chair.

 DD> No hurry. The carrot doesn't sound bad - probably set Dave S's teeth
 DD> on edge, though. Not as bad as tomatoes, but, still ....

I checked out a couple--will post a recipe and varient at the end of
this.

 RH> I'll take a pass on this one but it is interesting to read.

 DD> It was posted for the novelty value as well as for its relation to
 DD> butyl mercaptan. Nothing serious in there - at least as far as I am
 DD> concerned.  Bv)=

 RH> I didn't look--was it a Bodle posting originally?

 DD> Nope. Herb Walker from "Indian Cookin'" Bodle posted a lot of -
 DD> errrrrmmmm - "non-standard" fare. But, I don't recall any skunk
 DD> recipes from him. I'd have suspected John Hartman before Jim Bodle in
 DD> any event - but, it weren't he neither.   Bv)=

Whatever, it's a stinker.

 RH> I'll have to see how this compares with the ones a bit further down the
 RH> coast.

 DD> If it's not a lot of trouble. I'm usually ready to add to my store of
 DD> nowledge.

The one is called Careret County Clam Chowder, Carteret being the county
where Morehead City is located (home of The Saitary fish Market and
Restaurant. T&W's Oyster Bar is also located in the county, just up the
road a few miles from Cape Carteret. We've eaten at both places, and
know the (now retired) owner of T&W's. The New Bern variation is from
Craven County--adjoins Carteret but is not on the coast.

 DD> Two more curiosities which you will probably never make ....

Nope, won't do either.

CARTERET COUNTY CLAM CHOWDER

1/4 lb salt pork, cut inot small cubes
2 medium sized potatoes, cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 qt clams, chopped
1 qt water
salt, pepper
corn meal dumplings (no recipe given)

Fry pork until crisp and brown. Add potatoes, onion, clams and water.
Simmer until potatoes are done, adding water to keep mixture from
becoming too dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drop corn meal
dumplings on top chowder. Cover tightly and simmer 15 minutes.

New Bern variation (my paraphrase)
Use 3 potatoes, 1 #2 can tomatoes, 2 onions and Worcestershire sauce
(1-2 tablespoons), other ingredients the same.

Chop potatoes and add to boiling water, boil 10 minutes. Add clams and
tomatoes, simmer 10 minutes longer. Fry salt pork until crisp, dice and
add to chowder. Fry onions in pork drippings until golden and add to
chowder. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper to taste.
