Is chowder considered vegetarian?!
Answers: well i did some research (wiki *cough cough*) and found out that chowder was made with pork fat. does that mean that chowder isn't vegetarian? simple question...
You could find a substitute for pork fat. The fat is there to thicken it. You could use dehydrated mashed potato flakes instead. It doesn't alter the taste, but it does thicken it. Another good substitution is Corn starch.
that would depend on what you put in it.
It all depends on the actual ingredients. Your question is too vague. Is it clam chowder? Corn chowder? What?
Kate---chowders are thickened with flour.
Almost all chowders start with rendered bacon, it's a huge makeup of the flavors you taste in New England and Manhattan Clam chowders. You can make an all veggie chowder, just don't use bacon.
If you do have it made with pig's fat then no, it is not vegetarian. But I am quite certain you could make it with butter fat -in which case it would only be lacto vegetarian- or vegetable shortening of some sort.
For a soup to be a chowder all it requires is potatoes.
That is what seperates soups from chowders.
That being, many chowders aren't vegetarian or vegan, because many chefs like to *beef* up, (no pun intended) there recipes.
You can make corn chowder without the pork fat. It is not quite as tasty but pretty good. Hmmm wonder if I added a little olive oil.??
It depends on what you put in it. There are recipes for vegetarian and vegan chowders.
If it contains lard, or any other animal flesh, it is not vegetarian. However, you can make your own without meat products.
nonsense question..................

it really depends on what chowder you make - fish chowder, clam chowder, has FISH in it but corn chowder or ptatoe chowder or corn and potatoe chowder (soup) has corn and potatoes in it.

well even without the pig fat or pork, chowder wouldn't be considered vegetrian in general, a vegetarian si someone who does not eat any animals or meat what so ever, including seafood. well speaking and pescetarianal terms chowder would be pescetarian, pork is no exception for either, so no!
That's vague. That's like me saying "dinner has to have meat, so is dinner not vegetarian?" It all depends on what it consists of.
If it has any part of an animal in it then it is not vegetarian.
No, its not vegetarian
corn chowder would be. that's sounds really good right now.
