Do they taste good? Do they taste of anything? Don't you just swallow them or something?

No they taste of the sea, its pure essence, no other shell fish comes close. You need to chew them to really appreciate them, but you either love them or loathe them

I'm certainly glad sootyj isn't here to misquote these posts and make them sound like cum swallowing and cunninglingus. Phew.

Indeed, my favourite bivavle mollusc too.
Can't back up the aphrodisiac claims though.
They say it's because they look like a vagina. Really? Well I pity the poor sod who's knocking off the woman whothat's attached too!
Peasant food years ago and then the marketing men made them all trendy and cool...and they sell for shed loads now.

Ironically, they used to be poor man's food.
Even more ironically, the oysters at 'La Coupole' - possibly the most iconic brasserie in the world - are cheaper than the ones in a pub in Whitstable.

So what did you say to the cast of star gate sg1 when you met them?

Did you get an autograph at least?

In all honesty, I said 'Can I come on adventures with you through the Stargate? Look, I've brought my own gun and everything.' They made their excuses and left suddenly.
Maybe they were kidnapped by the Goa'uld?! I better get started on building my own Stargate in the back garden.
Oysters - don't you have to eat them raw?

Just because they're raw I wouldn't say they're disgusting - there is plenty of cuisines that are lovely raw, Steak Tartar for example, and bananas.
Eating things when they're still alive on the other hand - it's just cruel.

Well that's just mean!
I think I shall continue to pass!
I don't like any other seafood anyway.

The squirt of lemon juice does for them, I'm told.
Steak tartar! Raw oyseters! Oh my God, wish I hadn't read this before dinner.
