jessie981, Jan 2, 7:24pm
Come on uli, don't split straws. Probably same as containers mussels are bought from Supermarket.
samanya, Jan 3, 5:57pm
probably the same as a small box of MUSSELS.
Why do you want to know .wouldn't you collect your own!
teddy147, Jan 3, 6:03pm
so sorry i should of said,containers !

No it is quite difficult with crutches LOL :)
So if I want to "replicate" any recipe here I DO need to know how many mussels.
Why is that "difficult"! And do you not think that many people here would need to know the same!
samanya, Jan 3, 6:48pm
Estimate & improvise uli, I'm sure you can do that, as the rest of us can & do.
probably around 12- 15 mussels & of course they should be the 'green lipped' variety!
I'm not the one who makes things difficult, around here!

uli, why are you always negative!
uli, Jan 3, 7:31pm
Makes me laugh really to be called "negative" if I want to know how many mussels are in a punnet!

If I would give a recipe like that - everybody would be scrambling around asking for exact measurements.

Sure I can improvise. But why is it such hardship to tell me how many mussels are in your "punnet"! Either give a number or a gram equivalent. Whats hard about it!
