Mussels!! (Yummm)

[Trudes]

Can someone please tell me if I'm being racist, sexist, ageist or what,.....
I love mussels, but I'm really not that fond of the orange ones, prefer the white ones. So what is the difference between the orange ones and the white ones? Breed? Sex? Age?
And which ones do you prefer?

[Mom]

:sick: Cant eat them! Spent 10 days in hospital after eating one raw oyster for the first time a couple of years ago. Never been tempted to eat a mussel, and given my horrendous allergy to oysters I never will.

Maha LOVES them!! Bit of a connoisseur he is.

[Trudes]

Ewww oysters, yuck!! They have the consistency of snot and they look a bit like it too, gross!!

[MSTRS]

I love freshly steamed out of the shell mussels. The orangey ones are my favourite. I don't know what sex they are, but if you sort of open out a whole mussel...there's a clue. :bleh::killingme
don't know what form the males take tho

[Mom]

And if they done like you, they can damn near kill you...LOL

Nothing like an auto-immune reaction to make you feel really crap, trust me :eek5:

[Str8 Jacket]

Gee, why dont you just start a thread!

I think you ARE a racist biarch but I blame Nige.....

Yes, I know all about the fanny connection thanks! :lol: They're even ruder when they have a little crab living in them too!!

[Trudes]

That's only cause you know me, and hey, at least I didn't start a thread about my strap-on!! :buggerd:

[Trudes]

Sounds bad Mom... I'd hate to have a bad mussel... I love them too much!

[Pussy]

I'm reasonably certain the orange ones are females.
Mmmm, I love freshly steamed mussels too!

[sinfull]

Yum ! Only seafood i won't eat is Kina ! Ya can have them, but shellfish yeah orange ones white ones black ones ! Only ones i wont eat are fresh supermarket ones, who knows how blaardy long they been out of the water ! seen someone go belly up after we had a woolworths feed of muscles, just the one bad one in the lot, but she got it and whoa lol thank faark i never copped it !

[MSTRS]

Not a bad (or off) mussel...some people have massive (and fatal) allergic reactions to shellfish.

[MSTRS]

Just be careful when selecting them. No cracks etc and not slightly open. And after they are cooked, if one is NOT open, then toss it.

[Big Dave]

In Aus we eat the Crabs and use the Mussels for bait.

[martybabe]

Can't help ya there babe, all tastes like fishy sandy gristle snot to me, whatever the sex, race, age. :sick:

Put the sea slugs down and get yerself a nice bit of steak, scientifically proven to increase bust size, racing ability, intelligence and virility.

I can only vouch for one of those findings mind, the man boobs are coming along nicely. :laugh:

[sinfull]

You cook them ?
haha kidding, do ya see a brown tinge to my skin colour

[MSTRS]

Of course. Steamed in a little water and flavoured with garlic.

[Str8 Jacket]

That's only cause you know me, and hey, at least I didn't start a thread about my strap-on!! :buggerd:

HEY! I was not responsible for my actions...... Its not *what* we're drinking, its *how*!!


I'm reasonably certain the orange ones are females.


That's why Trudes hates them. :spanking:

[sinfull]

Of course. Steamed in a little water and flavoured with garlic.

Yeah went through a phase there at work, where i was buying those frozen half shelled ones and having a feed on the bbq after work dab of garlic butter on each as they heated up ! Yum Faark drooling here now ! Time to try on the wet suit, aww and new mask and snorkle and and where's my spear !

[Rollestonchick]

:clap::niceone::rofl:

[Lias]

Mmm mussels..

[Rollestonchick]

Refering to the seafood kind; I dont eat mussels but when steaming them and they are starting to open, put a lil garlic butter in them, apparently very yummy

[Trudes]

Cool, thanks all you nut cases!!
So I like the male mussels then..... mmmmmm man meat!!!

[marioc]

yum I think the saying goes something like this
"there is only two things that look like a mussel and one of thems a mussel"

[slimjim]

shit how come ya's all cook them.
bloody nicer straight from water to mouth. fresh not cooked
and if its gota crab then its fresh plus a bonus...

[turtleman]

Just be careful when selecting them. No cracks etc and not slightly open. And after they are cooked, if one is NOT open, then toss it.

Good advice ! If they are slightly open before cooking 'em, give them a sharp rap or a flick with a finger. If they close up, they'll be ok (still alive). If not, toss 'em out.

[xwhatsit]

That's because you over-cook the mussels and they taste like rubber. In fact that's what Aussies do with all seafood -- sear the living shit out of it.

Yet to taste a decent mussel (or any shellfish) in Australia that wasn't cooked by a Kiwi :dodge:

[The Stranger]

For gods sake, this is KB, there are 2 options. It should have been a poll!

[Trudes]

For gods sake, this is KB, there are 2 options. It should have been a poll!

Damn, now you tell me!! :laugh:
But would the poll have been "Is Trudes a" A. racist B. Sexist or C. ageist
OR
"Are mussels best eaten" A. Raw or B. cooked
OR
"Are mussels" A. the fanny of the sea or B. yummy things that you should just eat and not look too hard at you pervert.??

[MSTRS]

Yes.
effn10fc

[jrandom]

"Are mussels" A. the fanny of the sea or B. yummy things that you should just eat and not look too hard at you pervert.??

You just restated the same thing twice.

[Trudes]

sick sick bastards.
Anyway..... I like my mussels marinated in onion, yummm

[Nagash]

Mussels.. the best food ever.

Prefer them the most when they're smoked but the holy triad of Garlic, Ginger and chilli always goes absolutely beautifully.

Otherwise, boiled with water, white wine and garlic is good too.

Not too sure what the colour means but I don't think it's the sex..


Another wee reminder, always remove the 'beard' before cooking them, i've been to a couple of restaurants where they've left it in.. not tasty chewing a mussel's pubic hair.

[doc]

Yum ! Only seafood i won't eat is Kina ! Ya can have them, but shellfish yeah orange ones white ones black ones ! Only ones i wont eat are fresh supermarket ones, who knows how blaardy long they been out of the water ! seen someone go belly up after we had a woolworths feed of muscles, just the one bad one in the lot, but she got it and whoa lol thank faark i never copped it !

Fark I prefer the ones from "Foodtown Rock". :crazy:
You gotta try Kina fresh out of the water , just the row. Or fried in butter for no more than 30 secs then spread on toast, mmmmmm. Just beware of the "Kina Farts" only share them with close friends or you will have none. :eek5:

[bikerboy011]

I heard they are good for the testicles. lmao

[Str8 Jacket]

sick sick bastards.
Anyway..... I like my mussels marinated in onion, yummm

hmmm, yummy! I'll stop by for my share on the way home.....

Meh - The only reason to eat mussels is if you can't afford oysters.

I don't know that you can make that trans-tasman generalisation.

Mostly the food is better over this side, I think.

Last two trips to Aus I stayed at the Menzies and the Mercure.

Both 4 star joints. The steak at the Menzies was probably the worst I've ever been served - on either side - and the one at the Mercure was probably the best.

Eww, I love just about all seafood but I cannot stand the after taste of oysters :sick:

[gijoe1313]

:weep: Crikey, I loves seafoods I does, but seafood now does not love me ... gout gout and almighty gout ... :no: blardy painful it be, miss me feeds of mussels, scallops, the occasional oyster, pipis, cockles etc.

Used to love scooting down to Maraetai and hauling up a small feed of them delicious molluscs and bivalves!

I hate it when I have to cook them for others and I can only stare at them, wafting their tantalising aromas across my forlorn tastebuds and olafactory receptors :crybaby:

The little orange ones are yum!
I have em' at all the gatherings here....chilli flavoured...:drool:
It took me a very long time to even put one in my mouth and chew, didnt have my first one till my late 20's, and that was after a session on the Tequila (I am talking about mussels here) Same with Paua.

[Nagash]

Well, thanks you lot. Was gonna have a steak tonight but after reading this i've decided to buy some mussels to garnish the steak with.

Horrible combination, but oh so bloody good..

[chanceyy]

Once read something on the wall of Musselboys, orange ones, female,thats why they taste more suculant than the white ones

yup your correct Gareth .. orange or white .. seriously yummmmmmmmm

[Trudes]

Same with Paua.

Immmmm paua!!! Whole with a little garlic done on the BBQ, oh the memories!!! :drool:

[Pussy]

Same with Paua.

Now we're talking.... paua, YUM.
Also VERY partial to raw Bluff oysters.... although a few years ago I scoffed a 2 1/2 dozen tin in a sitting, and one of those 30 oysters was a dud, the bastard came charging back up, with reinforcements! Took me a few years to muster the courage to eat oysters again

[Number One]

......Tequila...

Indeed! Mom...I'm on that freak juice again :shifty:

+1 but eaten with chunky french bread so you can soak up the white wine and garlic sauce afterwards! YUMMMMY

[Pussy]

When we lived in Nelson a few years ago, we'd rock on over to Naturesmoke at Mapua and have a feed of mussels straight out of the smoker... bewdy!

[1 Free Man]

Ewww oysters, yuck!! They have the consistency of snot and they look a bit like it too, gross!!
You got it!! gobs of salty snot. don't know what people see in then myself.
As for mussels they make good snapper bait or so I'm told.

[1 Free Man]

Eeeewwww...crabs

There's a cure for crabs. You pour whiskey on them and then sprinkle on some sand. The little buggars get pissed and stone thenselves to death:2thumbsup

[Shadows]

I'm pretty sure they're all females.

Wow you got some serious ridges to your finger prints man!!!

[Shadows]

Wow you got some serious ridges to your finger prints man!!!

They're vibra ribbed. Now don't you go copying them, will you.

[Trudes]

PML, "Ribbed for her pleasure" eh?

[McJim]

Scallops are my favourite, followed by clams, then oysters and then mussels.

Still prefer all seafood to chicken though.

Pornographic mussels - so funny but only really useful if you have a 2 inch dick.:rofl:

[Number One]

They're vibra ribbed.

mmmm now that could cum in reeeeeeeal handy :shifty: :laugh:

OOOOOOOOOO yeaaaaaaaaaah - hmmm where is that man with the rough ridges located anyway......:wari:

[Big Dave]

For a canny scotsman you sure lead with your chin sometimes.

[jrandom]

Immmmm paua!!

It always disturbs me slightly how they wriggle and curl up around the knife blade when you cut them out of the shell and start slicing.

[Duke girl]

Give me Crayfish or Prawns anyday. Tried mussells once and I have never spat something out of my mouth so quick than the day i tried them. Each to their own I guess but I am happy to leave them to those who enjoy eating them.
