×I ate a chowder.
✓I ate some chowder. / I ate a bowl of chowder.
"Chowder" is typically an uncountable noun when referring to the food substance. Use "some chowder" or a quantifier like "a bowl/cup of chowder".
×This restaurant has a very good chowder.
✓This restaurant has very good chowder.
When describing the quality of an uncountable noun like "chowder", do not use the indefinite article "a". Use "very good chowder" or "a very good chowder recipe" if referring to the recipe.
×I like chowders.
✓I like chowder. / I like different kinds of chowder.
"Chowder" is rarely used in the plural form. To express variety, say "different kinds/types of chowder".
×Let's make a chowder of potato.
✓Let's make potato chowder.
In English, the main ingredient typically comes before "chowder" as a noun modifier (e.g., clam chowder, corn chowder). The structure "a chowder of..." is archaic or poetic and not used in modern cooking contexts.
×I want to drink chowder.
✓I want to eat/have chowder.
While chowder is a liquid-based dish, it is thick and contains solid pieces (seafood, vegetables). Therefore, we typically "eat" or "have" chowder, not "drink" it. "Drink" is used for clear soups or broths.
