Seafood Potjiekos

[Kradmelder]

Rode home today and out of the blue decided to make a seafood potjie. last minute decision.I invited a friend as I knew she likes seafood and likes potjies. But she couldnt make it. Too bad as she is a very decent lady, good morals, good character, and attrractive as well. She also rides a bike. Even if she is english, a very decent bird that would make any man proud.

Im not much of a fish person and prefer meat, but I figured, hey why not.

I kind of figured she wouldnt be able to make a last minute invite, but oh well, it is the thought that counts. The fact that you are considered.

Now the potjie. First, the fire

Looks very good but can you use prawns instead of of mussels? And what is butter cream

will give it a go with the mussels then i looked up butter cream but over here it's used as a topping for cake (butter cream icing).So maybe your butter cream is slightly different

I love prawns

Had a nasty experiences with mussels once, which incidently used to be my favorite dish as a child (moul mariner).

Until my Dad poisoned me with a defrosted pot . . . he thought they were cooked and keeping warm.

Took me almost 20 years to be able to eat them again .. but somehow they are not so popular with me.
