We are now pros at eating mussels! The first time we ordered them, the server sat them in front of us and we looked at them and they looked at us. Then we watched others in the restaurant. Since they don’t offer the small fish forks that we use in the US, the French pick out the first mussel with a fork and then use the shell from the first mussel as pinchers to pick the rest out of their shells. It works very well. We were even able to scoop up the fresh cream at the bottom of the bowl. We’ll probably use this method from now on. Who needs to worry about those little forks!
