Mussels - a variety of bivalve molluscs and a kind of exotic sea food

Introduction

Mussel is the common name used for members of several families of bivalve molluscs from saltwater and freshwater habitats. These groups have in common a shell whose outline is elongated and asymmetrical in comparison with other edible clams, which are commonly less rounded or oval.


Marine mussels are mostly available in the low and mid intertidal zone in temperate seas globally. Other species of marine mussel live in tropical intertidal areas, but not in the same huge numbers as in temperate zones.


Freshwater mussels inhabit permanent lakes, rivers, canals and streams throughout the world except in the polar regions. They require a constant source of cool and clean water. They prefer water with a substantial mineral content and use the calcium carbonate to build their shells.

Mussels in Tamilnadu

Generally, we get mussels in large quantities in the months of November and December. People enjoy these dishes during this season. Green mussels are the famous ones in Tamilnadu. I do love mussels a lot but hardly get them.

Mussels Fry

Cleaning mussels takes some more time, but it tastes so good. When I was working in Nagercoil, one of my friends got me mussels in large quantities and that was the first time I had cooked a variety of dishes of mussels. I tried the mussels fry and semi-gravy recipe.

Benefits of being Short

1. Legroom on airplanes is never an issue If I feel a little cramped in airline seats, then what must it be like for someone who is 6’ tall? It’s the same story with theaters and cinemas – you must have noticed how some people have to sit with their legs at a sideways angle. 2. Less Dangerous I've never banged my head on a low ceiling 11. There will be lots of situations where tall people have to bend over to not hit their head, but you’ll be able to remain upright without bumping into anything. Subsequently, you will be GREAT at limbo. 3.Beds How on earth do taller people manage to sleep in the average bed? I find that there is little room between my feet and the end of the bed, so taller people must find it really difficult – and uncomfortable. 4.Get more help People offer to help you carry things, or do it for you, as they think that a small person like you can’t manage it. Result – effort and sweat saved. 5.Heels  Of any height,...

I would like to share about my passion towards Cooking…. When it started? People who inspired me by their cooking talents....and my motivators ……… only positive comments….

During my final year, one of my friends used to cook by herself and bring it to college.... for her boy friend tooo… And her dishes used to be so tasty.... She used to prepare many food varieties. I used to taste it daily and there started the fire.....First dish which I prepared was "Ennai Kathirika Curry"- a pure Chettinadu Recipe and it was tasted by Joe … She told the dish was so good… And she advised me to prepare variety of dishes…. Really this cooking knowledge helped me a lot when...
