I'm not a fussy eater, but things like mussels and oysters are beyond disgusting to me as far as the thought of eating them goes. Oysters look like something that has been expelled from someone's nose. People seem to either adore them or are completely disgusted by them. Perhaps you should ask your guests in advance if they are one of the latter.

I haven't figured out how to put an umlaut over letters

(I understand that I could write it out in word or something then copy/paste, but I am typing straight in the box)

Then, in Lidl, I bought some Camembert, which comes in wooden containers around 10cm in diameter, more or less, probably about right for a single serving, so my thoughts, at present, are to melt these in the microwave and then put the mussels on top, one jar per person, drained and washed, of course, to remove the vinegar, and add various bits of salad such as lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and whatever else I've got. Some thickly cut toast with loads of butter should be enough to make it a meal, I think. I'll get some ice cream tomorrow for afters, with chocolate flakes or something like that.

You have no idea how much I've been gagging to get back onto the forum and discuss this "cheesy mussels" idea of yours, of course it's too late now to save your friends!

Are they still in contact?

Mussels: GOOD.
Cheese: GOOD.
Mussels with gooey cheese: TERRIBLE!

Similarly, baked beans: good, fried/poached eggs: good, eggs on the same plate as baked beans..noooooooooooo!!!



PS. The salad and hardboiled egg sounds lovely, as did the smarties and ice-cream (*if your friends are five!!)
