Moules-frites.
What think?
Mussels are delicious, fries are delicious
I don't see them complimenting each other though
i think all seafood should be served with fries.
it contrasts with the moist and slimy fish.
Seafood tends to be served with french fries very commonly so why not?

Cheap, delicious, and easy on the kitchen so it never comes out messed up. You do need bread though for dat broth.
>>7557701
fucking good
Good shit.
Belgium's most outstanding contribution to Western civilization.

You can use the fries to soak up the juices from the moules. They also offset the moules' texture, giving the dish a nice crunch (if done right).

>if done right
that is important as fuck. mf is amazing but only when done properly, cause if not it fucking sucks. i hope the dish will never become too popular cause then idk what americans would do with it.

>>7557973
Scrape it out with a fork. Or use your fingers.

>he thinks moules frites doesn't exist in america
Sorry anon, unless you have some unique specialty not sold outside of your village, we have everything you have and more.
>>7557701

Belgian here, I love friet met mosselen. The 2 don't go together really, we just eat fries with everything
>>7557701
Love it but I'd prefer grilled bread or a crusty baguette over fries. Better to sop those juices
>>7558088
cmon...there has to be a genuine unique way to do it
>>7558232
use a shell that still has a mussel in it
>>7558250
mind-blown
cant wait for my next moules-frites to try it

You have tartare with raw egg yolk? What about mett?
That's what I thought.

Who gives a shit you fucking homo?
The moules should be in a pot of their own and the fries should be hot and crispy - on the same plate is bollox
>>7558867
true

>You have tartare with raw egg yolk?
I can "literally" get in my car, drive for 20 minutes and get to a local restaurant that serves beef tartare with raw quail egg yoke.
>>7558802
>You have tartare with raw egg yolk?
yep. I've had tartare made with raw egg yolk at no fewer than 5 fancy-pants restaurants.
>What about mett?
I don't think I've come across met in the States, but I also wouldn't want to. Raw pork is pleb-tier nasty.

i really like moules frites, but you could replace the pommes frites with a lot of things, they're mainly just to have some variance in the food.
>>7557701
Mussels should be in a wine sauce, imo.
>>7560431
i used to think that but there's other good ways as well. the best ones i've tried were with chorizo&tomato sauce and cidersauce. some sort of thaistyle, coconutmilk/cream,cilantro and lime was really tasty too. had the last one in a restaurant about a year ago so i'm not 100% sure how it was made or what was in it.
>>7560436
>chorizo&tomato
That sounds pretty good, actually.
ITT salty and jealous europoors
>>7560439
yeah, it is, it's my girlfriends favourite and i make it for her from time to time. it varies everytime since i never remember exactly how i made it but that's ok, a little variance is good imo

>ITT salty and jealous europoors
'Europoors' have been eating mussels centuries before your continent was even discovered.
>>7560441
Retardation.
>>7557701
Delicious. My favorite version is moules epices and frites. There's a great bistro in my neighborhood that makes superb fries. Moules au Pernod is another favorite, but I prefer baguette with those.

>spending a day at the beach with friends
>buying mussels when the fishermen come in with their catch
>cooking your mussels on a fire on the beach with your remaining cans of beer
Like I said: stay homo, homo.

>>7557701

>>7558232
Your fingers.
>>7557930
We'd probably fuck it up and then eat it NOT BEING BLOWN UP.
