Flanders has some incredible culinary specialties, many of which are not widely recognized internationally. One of these are mussels which makes sense as Belgium shares a mussel rich coastal region with the Nederlands. Mussel season is synonymous with mid to late summer and thus it being that time of year again I had the pleasure of endulging in this tasty sea creature last week. I ordered the 1.6kg version and after a long wait was presented with a piping hot pot of shell fish in a soup of onions and celery. Of course being Belgium no traditional meal is complete without frites and mayonaisse. Finally rounded off with a conservatively chilled Jupiler it was the perfect way of ending another summers eve in Flanders.
