<human>:  How can I make a New England clam chowder that tastes like my grandmother's?
<bot>: Begin by gathering the traditional ingredients: potatoes, onions, celery, bacon, clams, salt, pepper, and heavy cream. Then, use your grandmother's recipe, or experiment with adjusting the amounts of each ingredient until you achieve the desired taste. If you have the opportunity, ask your grandmother for her advice on how to prepare her New England clam chowder. Finally, simmer all the ingredients together for 30 minutes or so and enjoy the result.
