There is a pub that we like to frequent...and sometimes my friend Rory [shout out!] is there as well. They have half price appetizers until 7pm and of course as Joseph and I are quite frugal we often take advantage of it. Up until today we had never tried the Rory Special - which is the mussels. Something about paying $4 for mussels just seemed wrong to me [just like getting lobster @ Subway]. I was highly suspicious.
So Joseph went ahead and ordered them and proclaimed them tasty...and Rory obviously feels that way so I decided to give them a shot and I ate mussels in tomato sauce. All I can say is hooray for discount mussels! Generally speaking I only eat mussels in Belgium and I have only ever had mussels in a white wine sauce, so this was definitely something different. It could have done with being a bit more spicy, but the portions were plentiful and it went a long way towards combating my elitism towards discount seafood.
Oh yeah, there is reason #42 why I'm a bad vegetarian. Sometimes I like to eat lovely sea creatures. Mussels, though...I mean - what kind of a life is that?
