Cockles and Mussels

Posted by Anthony Morgan Lambert (Bielefeld, Germany) on 29 March 2009 in Food & Cuisine and Portfolio.

A feast for the Whole Family !! Traditional Shell fish fare at the British Sea-side.
That´s the last from the Huts,Shacks and Sheds for now.A second series is coming real soon !!

Hectic life just carries on.Swine flu is running rife in Germany at the moment (have you got it where you are ?) and over a third of everybody at work are sick at the moment so the few left fit,well and fighting are having to push out the over time to make up for the sick and missing !!
I´ll be in to comment when I can.

Very quaint, and looks like a good place to stop off at. (Jellied eels? Must be an aquired taste...)

@Andrew Gould: Jellied Eels are in my opinion,"Disgusting" but then everybody´s different.
As we were travelling down to Weston-super-mare from Wales there was a report on the radio that the old Victorian pier had burned down,you can just see some of the remains in the background.The atmosphere in the town was of course very strrange as we arrived and the place was full of TV crews and firemen.

Take a look,you can see my hut in the forground

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia

I've just viewed the video, Anthony, and yes, the hut is clearly visible. How terrible about the pier. I wonder if they'll build a replica or go for a modern style one instead?

@Andrew Gould: I´ll have to trawl the Internet a bit and find out !!
