"I am posting this recipe for "You want a Recipe" game. ImPat wanted to see a recipe using mussels and I have looking at this recipe from an old family cookbook for such a long time (always thinking of Pat) so I decided to post it for the game. This cook book is around 40 years old so I do hope it works for anyone who tries it. It does look a little unusual. NOTE: The recipe calls for 30 Mussels so I am not sure of the weight...but it is 30 Mussels."
