#25 - Chef: This mussel recipe's first step is to sprinkle

[ToadKing]

Hi,

I negated (E) and did not fully understand why it is necessary. My reasoning was that the chef could have just put the instruction into the recipe as an added precaution, in which case their mussels would not necessarily come from the seafood market. Sort of like how a chef might use prewashed lettuce, but write a recipe where they instruct others to wash their lettuce beforehand because the chef does not know what kind of lettuce they have on hand/it wouldn't hurt to wash it again.

Thanks for the help!

NVM! I thought that the question was asking about the chef who wrote the recipe, not the one who is trying it out!

Conclusion: I can skip this step (sprinkling corn meal to clean out sand)
Premise: because mussels available at seafood markets don’t contain sand.

Well, what happens if the mussels he is using are not from the seafood markets? Can he say that he could skip this step? We can infer that he is assuming his mussels are from those seafood markets.
