national oyster day
how can AUGUST 5 be national oyster day. do you see an R anywhere in the word august. and in all seriousness people who really like oysters know you don't get good oysters from warm waters, cold water oysters are far better. okay it time for all you oyster haters to pile on and tell us what you really think of eating an oyster.

i have actually harvested my own oysters here on the gulf coast, illegal now without a license. but with my sil in the business so to speak, i have them delivered, shucked and handed to me, what a life huh. he also cooks them on the grill on the half shell several different ways. couple more months and we will be ready to get to it.

I was in a raw bar in the Keys and watched a boat pull up to the bar’s dock out back. The bartender lifted a cooler of ice and oysters from the boat and began shucking and set them before us. I think they were 25 cents each.

I love 'em. My cousin said they were ok, once you swallowed them the third time! LOL! My brother said the were not really good unless you had mud on your chin after eating a dozen! The best I ever had were in Japan out of their COLD Pacific water.

Not a thing here, and won't knock them.
I eat venison sausage cooked in some form of intestine, so I am definitely eating some form of animal guts, but knowingly consuming the nuts from something may require a few drinks to break the ice.
Are you a chicken gizzard guy?
Lamb, beef, hog, all the same to me.
I don't like the texture. Gizzards and testes I've had have tasted okay, but it's like chewing on a rubber band.

Nope, no guts. I remember my brothers fighting over the chicken guts, I was more interested in thighs and breasts.
The wife and I have never eaten the stuff they package inside of a bird, always goes in the garbage.

I hate to deviate from the subject matter but I have always liked calves liver the way my wife makes it.
She has been too busy lately to do much cooking and the chore to fix my liver was left up to me. I thawed a pound of frozen in one of those tight poly bags in the kitchen sink. Close to meal time I cut a slice in the bag and went to drain the blood down the drain and lost the entire contents of that pound of liver as well! 😯

In nearby Manchester, Vermont, there is a wholesale/retail fish monger that has trucks come from the nearby New England coast four times week. The most expensive item is the Gulf shrimp they have shipped in...delicious.
I only do the oysters from September through April and they have several varieties harvested from the Canadian coast down. I love raw oysters, to me they taste of the sea...oh and a beer...
