Oh Jesus

But you are right... they look gross.

They do look awful but taste lovely, up to you if you want to chew them or not.

Though I do a a friend who refuses to eat mussels on the basis they remind her of the female genitalia.

Fresh oysters, alternate with a nip of Tabasco and rock salt, With wholemeal bread and butter and wash down with Guinness.
Used to be served just like that at Conran's pub, the Cow, in Ladbroke Grove.
Heaven on earth.
