More mussels and frites

This time with a red curry broth. They were good, a bit spicy but the spiciness that goes away easily with water. And the fries were shoestring and crunchy.

I keep ordering mussels to satisfy cravings for clams which are harder to come by at restaurants. This craving, we realized yesterday, really only came about after our trip to Vancouver in the summer when we went to Lonsdale Quay (pronounced "key", but totally confuses me) and ordered steamed clams. They make them right there and serve with just a bit os seasoning and melted butter. Mmmmmmm.

Can't wait to go home over Christmas and go to Napoli to have some almejas en salsa roja!

Try New Zealand cockles if you can find them...just like the almejas at Sorrento!
