Fast food doesn't have to be greasy and fatty! This week Healthy Helpings TV's host Michelle Koen revisits a childhood memory of growing up in Belgium, where Mussels were commonly available for drive-through take away, to show you the other side of fast food.

There's nothing "Belgian-style" in this video.

Where did you get those nonsense about fastfood and drive-in???

And btw, half a kilogramme serves a kid, in Belgium you serve at least 1 kilo per adult.

Mussels-season spring through summer???

I got told that the season would go from end-summer til end autumn... which is why, you can find than in most of the restaurants mussels at that time... :s

That light looks strong enough to just bounce into the ceiling, or off of a white sheet hung from a couple of light stands and clipped on with some spring clamps, better known here in US, as A clamps, or bounce the light off of a piece of white foam core.

I'm from Belgium and have never seen a mussels drive-trough. :-s

Also mussels are not considered fast food over here. It's more a delicacy. I like to make them the traditional Belgian way.

First i saute some celery, onion and parsley on a pretty high heat. Then i trow in the mussels, seasoned with a healthy dose of pepper and a pinch of salt. No liquid should be added but i usually put a shot of white wine in there. Let them steam up twice and your mussels are done. Best served with fries.

Belgians don't cook mussels this way, neither serve them at a drive-in, I think you just ruined a bunch of muchrooms and you should toss the mushrooms when they are almost cooked, putting the vegetables on top.

Classic Belgian style : onion and selery, pepper en salt and parsley

French style: vegetables in julienne + carrottes
