My dad has always said to me - 'remember. Always smell an oyster before you eat it...'.<br /><br />I like mine with a little drop of tabasco and the shallot vinagrette, though I was once told that the vinaigrette is there to cleanse the palate in between mouthfuls.Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023280672580419430.post-77128047225644526972012-04-26T17:59:29.154+01:002012-04-26T17:59:29.154+01:00Ah taste buds...its an age thing

But, like feedetgastro, I am careful about where I get them from, and they have to be very, very fresh. As a solitary oyster lover in a family of people who really aren;t keen, i can totally understand why people don;t enjoy them though.The Grubwormhttp://www.thegrubworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023280672580419430.post-51078885949046498662012-04-26T15:00:55.041+01:002012-04-26T15:00:55.041+01:00With you on that one EuWen, same with Mussels the ...With you on that one EuWen, same with Mussels the little ones are always sweeter!PDHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285211840621002331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023280672580419430.post-64309527898943982832012-04-26T14:29:36.268+01:002012-04-26T14:29:36.268+01:00It's taken me a long time to like oysters, and...It's taken me a long time to like oysters, and it was the tiny kushi oysters when in San Francisco which turned it around for me.

Not much seafood she wont eat to be honest and she's more than happy to eat prawns whole, legs an all. In short she is a monster for the fishies!

Needless to say, I never looked back and have loved them unreservedly since. However, I do take the precaution of only eating them in places I absolutely trust. I don't want one bad oyster to ruin my enjoyment forever.<br /><br />Actually, I've just remembered that one of my dad's favourite anecdotes about me is that i used to eat oysters off his fruit de mer platters in France as a child, so perhaps I've always been a lover of the 'food of love'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
