I am guessing this was the first time in Indy Fringe
history that MUSSELS were served at the BEER TENT…
We had picked up a box of mussels at the Indy Trader Joe’s
on the advice of a really cool employee.
When he heard about the blog he wanted to make sure we got some new
products to try, so he steered us to these brand new, reasonably priced
MUSSELS. We bought a box. Then proceeded to forget we had them in the freezer
of the apartment we were staying in for our time in Indy. Oops! But
the final night of the festival I remembered, so OUT THEY CAME!

We are not huge mussels eaters. The only time I can remember having them is
in Paris, and we have never made them at home, only ordered them while out to
eat. So I was a bit nervous but excited
to try them.

They were pretty good!
They were super easy to cook. The
sauce was good, I really wished we had a baguette to soak it up and eat
it. The garlic was nice. The mussels themselves were a bit
chewy but not too bad.
Laura, the mother of a performer who had come to town to
see her son’s shows, tried the mussels. She
said they were very flavorful, in fact, delightful!

Taylor, a magician, liked the mussels. As a magician, she made several disappear
(into her belly!). She said the mussels
were “not bad”. She is from the Northeast
and claims these were “just a little chewy, but some people like them that way”.

David also ate some and he started a discussion at the
table of what the HERB was in the sauce…
Tarragon? Something else? In the end we learned it was THYME.

They are really pretty cheap, considering how much you would pay for this many mussels in a restaurant.
 |
| Only $3.99! |
Price – $3.99
Rating – 3.75
