Living near the ocean, mussels abound. Just today I was having a home-made sea food medley. I was about to bite into an old-looking, anorexic mussel, when I noticed this grey phallic structure sticking out. Now abviously it isn't a phallus, what use would a sessile creature have for one? And it certainly wasn't large nough to reach across to the next mussel, I think...
I tossed the dish aside, watched some rap-videos, drank a beer while I shouted at a football game, all so I could feel like a man again...
No, I dont drink, but I did some research: I cant find what it is, and I am not a latent homo-sexual who see's the male member in anything, as certain family members would say...
So, the idea of swallowing a slimy, slippery animal whole - and everything it just ate and is about to discharge isn't gross enough? You need to see a little something else to put you over the edge?
I had mussels last night, yummy!
T'was the beards that put me off.
Same difference, I guess.

Do a google image search on "mussel foot" and you'll find the answer.
You could start here.

Yummy little suckers they are
Yes littlek, as a child I remember reading a book that showed the innards of a mussel- digestive system, heart nervous system and all. That put me off mussels for a while. Then I got over it- after all people eat snails and frog legs!
Thank-you for the link fishin, so it was a 'foot' that put me of eh? I still think it looked very phallic...
To all mussels lovers, I hope I didn't put you off! Mussels , oysters or clams?
Stumble It!
