Tru Say, Mi Bredrin! Tru Say Charlie(tu)

This is the recipe we first used for mussel fritters

Mussel fritters


300g cooked mussel meat, not too finely chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

a large handful of dill, chopped

2 eggs

? cup milk

1 teaspoon oil

? teaspoon salt

125g flour



Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack in one egg. Separate the other egg and reserve the white in a bowl. Add the yolk to the flour, along with the salt and whisk in the oil and milk, gradually combining all the ingredients.


Set the batter aside until required.


Chop the mussels and place in a bowl (1) with the onion and a generous quantity of chopped dill.When ready to cook, whip the eggwhite until stiff and fold into the batter. Then add the batter to the mussel mixture.


Heat some oil in a frypan or use a flat griddle. Turn the heat back a little and spoon out the fritter mix (2). Allow each fritter to cook to a golden brown on the underside then turn and complete the cooking (3). If you don't have a large griddle, place the cooked fritters on a dish in a hot oven until all are cooked.



we made them quite small and served as a starter on a few pub menus or as part of a seafood platter


cheers

I do make an effort to shop locally but if its a toss up between the shoddily run but reasonably well stocked co-op(forest hill road)or the independent shop just up from the Herne Tavern which although staffed by well mannered and charming people never seems to have much of anything on its shelves then I'm afraid the co-op wins everytime.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
