It’s actually pretty tasty if you enjoy this sort of thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So the fellow who introduced me to oysters also had me try mussels at some point later in our culinary excursions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t enjoy them as much as I do oysters. Well, I shouldn’t say that, a pot of moules frites is a delight, but not for the reasons you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a traditional pot of mussels, complete with an incredible collection of green things – in this case, green onions, leeks, celery… Probably some shallots and some onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then the whole thing is cooked in butter, garlic and white wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throw in some mussels, steam to perfection and hey-presto, lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for me the best part isn’t the mussels. They’re great and everything, but the best part is scooping heaps of the greens on a piece of grilled sourdough. Which I did with abandon. I don’t think anyone noticed how enamored I was with the part of my lunch that wasn’t the main attraction. Well, if they did they didn’t make any mention of it, which is just as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt the tastiest and best part of the meal. I wonder what would happen if I ordered a pot of mussels, and asked them to hold the mussels. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
