单词 chowder
释义

chowdern.

Brit. /ˈtʃaʊdə/, U.S. /ˈtʃaʊdər/
Forms: Also 1700s chouder.
Etymology: Apparently of French origin, < chaudière pot. In the fishing villages of Brittany (according to a writer in Notes & Queries 4th Ser. VII. 85) faire la chaudière means to supply a cauldron in which is cooked a mess of fish and biscuit with some savoury condiments, a hodge-podge contributed by the fishermen themselves, each of whom in return receives his share of the prepared dish. The Breton fishermen probably carried the custom to Newfoundland, long famous for its chowder, whence it has spread to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and New England. Another writer in Notes & Queries (1870) 4th Ser. V. 261, says ‘I have frequently heard some of the old inhabitants [of Newfoundland] speak of Commodore John Elliot's chowder pic-nic in 1786, which was given in honour of H.R.H. Prince William Henry [William IV] in command of H.M.S. Pegasus upon the Newfoundland station’.
a. In Newfoundland, New England, etc.: A dish made of fresh fish (esp. cod) or clams, stewed with slices of pork or bacon, onions, and biscuit. ‘Cider and champagne are sometimes added’ (Bartlett).
