Today's Case:

Mussels

The first mussels I had were steamed in white wine and served with toasted French bread to eat with the broth. They were excellent! The best part of mussels steamed in white wine is the broth. I've had them other ways, but steamed in white wine is how I prefer them.

Basque or Spanish stuffed and deep-fried mussels, sometimes called “flu-flais ” or “ Rabid Tigers ” or "Mejillones Tigres" are something I want to try as soon as possible.

There are links to recipes for them on these sites:

1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Shuck the mussels and return them to half-shells. Combine the remaining 
ingredients and pack this mixture loosely into the shells on top of the mussels.
