Mussels?? Gross! How can people eat those things? I won’t be trying this, sorry.
I didn’t like it. The mussels tasted too fishy, and I ended up throwing most of them away. Maybe I did it wrong?
Maybe you cooked them too long? Fresh mussels shouldn’t taste fishy! I think they should be nice and sweet. Next time, try to get them really fresh.
So simple! Even I could do it. The wine doesn’t have to be fancy, right? Just needs to be wet.
Absolutely right! As long as it’s wet, you’re golden. I’m making this tonight!
I dunno, I feel like it should be good wine? What if it ruins the dish? Just my thoughts.
This dish was amazing! The mussels were so fresh, and the spinach added a nice touch. I will definitely make it again!
Honestly, I wasn’t sure about the wine in this recipe. It seemed weird to me, but wow, it made a huge difference! New favorite!
