No risk of botulism, but there is a risk of other food-borne
infections.
One of the nastiest is amnesic shellfish poisoning, which can cause
permanent brain damage.

Clearly there's a REASON for the old adage not to eat mollusks during
months with an "r" in the name!

The adage I learned was "never eat mussels on a day ending in 'y'."

In which language? (In English, all seven end in "y"!)

Even me as e German got that joke quicker than you ;-)

"Pomme" is a fruit - apple. "Pommes de terre" are potatoes.

Of course, if you say "pommes frites" no one will think you go around frying apples...


Although in the U.S. they sometimes do - with breakfast pancakes, or
with pork chops.

I tried a Jamie's Italian in Oxford recently. Not very good and poor
value for money.
