Oysters

Harvest

Never eaten them. Any good or shit?

Bod

Had them years ago, they have the texture of jellied snot, taste like the sea. Not nice at all

One of those things people eat so they can tell other people.
Snot and salt. Avoid.

Shit and you can catch some proper serious crap from them. Vibrio vulnificus.

If you want, you can send me some money and I’ll send you some cum in shot glasses for you to neck it in one & have the same experience. 👍

Once went to Galway Oyster Festival. I ordered some covered in cheese and bacon, so they were edible. Does that count?

First had ’em in the US. They were fucking huge so there was no way could slurp ’em down in a oner. You had to chew ’em and they were rank. Next time some 25 years I had ’em in Cartagena - a freebie aperitif. Lemon juice and a splash of tabasco, sluuuurrrrrp gone. They were actually really nice. I’ve had ’em a few times since and now really like them. As long as they’re not those big fat septic fuckers.

I do oysters. As above - lemon and a drop of hot sauce. Pair with Chablis if you want your end away, or Sauvignon blanc if you’ve already married her.

Also mussels steamed in white wine and garlic. Pair with any white Bourdeaux. If you’ve not stumped up for the oysters, the wine isn’t going to get you special Birthday privileges so save your brass you tight sod.

Sorry. I’ve necked nearly a bottle of Saint-Emilion tonight and gone all Bon Viveur.

space I’m picking up notes of Keith Floyd and Ollie Reed. 😂

I had some in NZ a good while back. Didn’t mind them and some in Margate this year. Lemon and Tabasco and again I didn’t mind.

Preferred the cockles I had though.

Extremely cold white wine..

Dash of tabasco

Tiny pickled Red onions

Harvest

I’m not fussed that I’ve never had them. Roysters however..

Love ‘em - genuinely. Though this evening I visited an Asian restaurant and on the menu was ‘grilled fish bhuna’! Love my fish, so ordered it and asked the waiter what fish it was. ‘Pangas’ He went away and I googled it, not having heard it before - Bangladeshi freshwater catfish! Not sure how ‘fresh’ it is coming over to North Yorkshire and will avoid in future. A mate text to say it feeds through its arse. Think it’s more ‘cat’ than ‘fish’ as my arse has been meeowing since!

With lime juice and chilli sauce. Yum 😋

Just the look of them makes me want to vomit.
In fact I’m feeling a tad queasy after reading this thread.

You can tell someone’s class by whether they like oysters or not.

I fucking hate the bastards.

Had them on a set tasting menu. Somehow one got stuck and I couldn’t shift it, I was trying to swallow it, gipping and trying to hide my gipping all at the same time.

Smash them, raw and freshly shucked, or deep fried.

One of life’s true pleasures!

Always fancied trying them in a beef n oyster pie but never have.

The risk of spew virus is too much to trust any restaurant tbh. I’ve had them though, not bad with chilli vinegar.

Reggie_Perrin You just reminded me - I had a steak and oyster pie in NZ - they love their pies.

It was pretty horrific tbf.

Lovely steak pie, yum yum then arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh - what the eff - salty fishy disgustingness.

Treated myself to some under grand central station, when were in New York, 15 years ago. Enjoyed em .
