RECIPE: How to make perfect steamed mussels with wine and garlic for that perfect date? You need less than 30 minutes. Humans have used mussels as food for thousands of years. About 17 species are edible. Nowadays, freshwater mussels are generally considered to be unpalatable and are almost entirely not consumed, although the native peoples of North America ate them extensively and still do today. In the USA during the Second World War, mussels were commonly served in diners and eateries across the country. This was due to the lack of access to red meat (such as beef and pork) for the general public, in relation to the aspect of the American wartime rationing policy concerning food, with much of the meat available being sent to aid the US military’s war efforts abroad. Instead, mussels became a popular substitute for most meats (with the exception of chicken). In Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, mussels are consumed with French fries (“mosselen met friet” or “moules-frites“) or bread. In Belgium, mussels are sometimes served with fresh herbs and flavorful vegetables in a stock of butter and white wine. Fries and Belgian beer sometimes are accompaniments. A similar style of preparation is commonly found in the Rhineland where mussels are customly served in restaurants with a side of dark bread in “months containing an R”, that is between September and April. In the Netherlands, mussels are sometimes served fried in batter or breadcrumbs, particularly at take-out food outlets or informal settings. In France, the Éclade des Moules, or, locally, Terré de Moules, is a mussel bake that can be found along the beaches of the Bay of Biscay.
