Yumm or Yuck * Yumm

I've made this delicious chowder several times and always ask why I don't make it more often, its so good! Oyster mushrooms give it a real New England Chowder quality. Its been said that "A New England clam chowder, made as it should be, is a dish to preach about, to chant praises and sing hymns and burn incense before. To fight for....". I agree, well sans the clams and add the oyster shrooms. If you've never used oyster mushrooms before, do give it a try. They look and taste like oysters...well, pretty close...and you don't have to worry about all that nasty mercury in your soup. I like to serve this with homemade garlic soup crouton. I think it looks a little like radioactive soup in the picture thanks to poor lighting...yumm!
