LOL! My mother always used mayo on her grilled cheese but she put mayo on
the inside with the cheese and buttered the outside. I definitely thought
that was weird

You were the one who suggested it as a great way to prepare fish, and now
you're poo-poo'ing it?

The mayo "crust" on the salmon is fairly thin. But the mayo on the
half-shell mussles is rather disgusting. At first inspection you'd think
it was cheese, but not on first taste. They use way too much of it.

Mussels are kinda disgusting, add mayo and it's doubly so. The salmon is
probably OK but that stuff ain't Chinese.

I've had mussels with a hot ginger sauce in a Vietnamese restaurant and
they are good!Wasn't Vietnam called Indo-China? The mussels are possibly
a result of French influence since French bread is served with them but
a number of Vietnamese sandwiches use such bread too.

I am in agreement with you - that does sound weird. Melted cheese and
mayo? :-) OTOH, that's so off the wall that I'll try it when I get the

I've used mayo from time to time either when I have run out of butter
or it's rock hard refrigerated. You have to be really careful and
just skim it on because it ends up feeling greasier after it's toasted
than butter does.

I know nothing about varieties of mussel however, if you're saying to
try a mussel on a green shell - that sounds simple enough. I'm not

Don't get your hopes too high. In my experience, they are disgusting.

Mostly agree. I tried the frozen green-lipped mussels
once, and they were not impressive. I'd class them
with frozen arctic surf clams -- tried once, and while
okay I'm not tempted to try them again.

I used to think that mussels were okay. I wouldn't go out of my way for
them but I used to eat them at when they became popular in local places.
The none day my wife got sick on mussels, and she was as sick as I was
the time I got a good dose of food poisoning. Just realizing that it is
possible to get that sick eating them was enough to turn me off them. I
have had then once or twice, but they just didn't taste as good as they
used to.

As a tangential datapoint, there were no frozen greenlip mussels
for sale at the TJ's in Emeryville.

Lawd! Gravy on French Fries brings back memories of British cooking that

I didn't know if anyone would get it so in threw in those last two

What I do every once in a while is put the Heinz ketchup on, then on top
of the ketchup, I add a bit of malt vinegar.

Another added benefit of mixing it with the ketchup is there is
less chance of choking on malt vinegar fumes :-)
