When the US embraced Prohibition, the country's drinking culture radically changed. Speakeasies popped up, illegal alcohol smuggling routes were established, and new drinks exploded in popularity. Among them: The Tomato Cocktail, a hangover cure described in one recipe from the 1929 cookbook "Here's How Again! " as "a very simple concoction" that was "guaranteed to pick you up no matter how low you have fallen." This (admittedly dramatic-sounding) drink is the progenitor of the Bloody Mary we know today.

In New England, the official dipping buddy for creamy clam chowder is called a common cracker, and it's different than any other cracker in almost every possible way. For starters, it's larger (about the size of a Ritz cracker), rougher, and looks unmistakably old-school. The common cracker's flavor is also deliberately restrained. Wheaty, crunchy, and very hearty - these unleavened crackers swell slightly in creamy New England clam chowder. This makes them take on a dumpling-like quality, and it's not accidental.

While many football fans are preparing to watch the upcoming Super Bowl, the team at Tasting Table is thinking about a different kind of bowl: a warm, cozy, soup-filled bowl, and the kind brimming with fresh clams, potatoes, and a creamy base, known fondly as clam chowder. There are plenty of clam chowder types to choose from. These include San Francisco clam chowder - a nod to the city hosting Super Bowl 2026 - and New England clam chowder, the well-known chowder powerhouse.

Stuffed clams are that perfect mixture of homey flavors - like garlic, butter, and breadcrumbs - and elevated seafood. But making the perfect stuffed clams isn't as easy as stuffing whatever clams you have. There are more than 10 different types of clams, and you must choose the clam with the right type of shell for your stuffing needs.

Sonic seasoning is the phenomenon where specific musical elements: tempo, pitch, instrumentation: can influence how our brains perceive the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.

It's not just about mood: it's about fundamentally altering taste perception through sound.

It affects both texture and the taste of soups, thickening them and adding body,

When it comes to the list of the most popular seafood in the U.S., shrimp is far and away the most consumed. While we tend to think of seafood as coming from saltwater oceans, this list also includes freshwater fish, clams and shrimp. It's true that most of shrimp we eat comes from saltwater habitats, but freshwater shrimp has its place at the table. Setting aside the distinction between shrimp and prawns, there are some key differences between freshwater and saltwater shrimp that you should know.

There's something to be said about the appeal of chain restaurants. In theory, customers can walk into any location and get much the same experience. There's nothing wrong with that, especially considering some chains take quality seriously. Chain barbecue restaurants are fewer and farther between than, say, steakhouse chains, and that's because of some unique challenges, including the differences between beloved regional styles.
