Translation examples

mussels were

Die Küche roch göttlich, die Muscheln waren prall, rosa und gekräuselt wie kleine Vulvas, aber vielleicht spiegelte diese Assoziation nur meine übermütige Stimmung wider.
The kitchen smelled divine, the mussels were plump and pink and ruffled as tiny vulvas, or perhaps that comparison was just a reflection of my jaunty mood.

Die Muscheln waren beinahe dreißig Zentimeter lang und hatten eine wunderbare violette, von einer braunen Haut überzogene Schale. Die Haut war geriffelt. Innen glänzten die Muscheln gräulich-weiß.
The mussels were almost two hands long and had beautiful violet shells, covered by brown skin. A series of flattened ridges textured the skin. On the inside, the mussels gleamed grayish-white and had two small teeth. They attached themselves to rocks along the tide lines with hairy bundles of fibrous fingers.

shells were

Die Muscheln waren blaßgrün bis durchsichtig.
The shells were pale green to transparent.
