| Has anyone served steamed mussels as a main course? If so, with what sides? I'm not great at making fries at home but was thinking crusty bread and a salad. Will that fill everyone up though? |

| Yes. Also, serve Belgian beer and/or white wine. Also, invite me. |

| Mmmm. Lots of people don't like mussels. Plus, ask if anyone has shellfish allergies. |

| People have mussels as a main all the time. The thing is to make an amazing broth, because the fun comes from sopping the bread in it. |

I presume OP already knows if people will like and/or are allergic to them... |

I steam them with garlic, white wine, parsley and olive oil.
Then I serve them over pasta, crusty bread and salad. So easy, fast, yummy. Sometimes I skip the bread if I do Brie and bread to start. |

| Crusty bread is a good idea. I also like to slice zucchini and squash with the julienne blade of a mandoline and then cook it briefly in the mussls liquid to make a veggie spaghetti as a base for the dish. Of course, actual spaghetti could also be a base. |

Are you disabled? Or mentally challenged? It is really not rocket science. The fucking Belgians do it. |

Do you tend to over-react to things? |
