I recently had the worst moules-frites in the world...
Lol here she pops out again, as long as it's OT she's there. "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" a écrit dans le message de groupe de discussion : ... Jack Campin wrote: I personally would find it too risky to eat mussels in the warm season, as it can make you seriously ill, if one of them is bad (botulism). 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesic...fish_poisoning Clearly there's a REASON for the old adage not to eat mollusks during months with an "r" in the name! |

With millions doing it, clearly the risk is exaggerated. -- Martin |

Supermarket ones will be clean but those bought directly from a fishery may well not be, for example. I might be misunderstanding the definition of clean here- the supermarket ones I buy need debearding (I'm not sure I'd want to buy them otherwise?), but the outsides are clean. Yeah, that's what I meant. They nearly always need debearding (unless in a ready meal dish) but if they come from the supermarket they won't be covered in parasites and entangled in seaweed. |

In message , Bill writes In article , says... []t! Wrong. See Janet's post about the breeding season. I saw it, it's ********. And the same to you. Says who? PS I can understand why travel group went arse up. The group didn't go arse up. Those that used it for chat (such as myself) moved elsewhere, including 'here.' The evidence is quite clear, a recent post in the group got a large number of former contributors to post. Apart from anything else, why wouldn't a group about European travel be anything else other than chat? "Answers" are very easily found elsewhere. Answers to 'uk.food+drink.misc' are usually found elsewhere too, but people do like to chat. Anyone who complains about that (I'm not implying you) have very little sense of the orgins of Usenet. That is, it was a puropsely _social_ medium.

Except that you're the wrong way around. Yeah, I caught that when I re-read it, later. The months WITHOUT an 'r' in then are May, June and July, the warmest months in England. You forgot August. (Which is usually plenty hot in the U.S., whatever it may be in the UK.) |

The adage I learned was "never eat mussels on a day ending in 'y'." In which language? (In English, all seven end in "y"!) |
