What are your feelings on oysters?

Cold. Wet. Slimy.
y?

>>21400243 (OP)
I hated them as a kid because it was like a cold booger, but tried it again now that I am in my 30s and found them rather enjoyable

Snot on a shell. Somehow the ocean managed to produce something worse than sea bugs.

I don't really enjoy them. About once a year when in france I will give them another chance and eat some at a market or something, but I'm almost always let down. Not a big fan of the texture and the flavor is not unique enough to make it worth it, mostly umami and salt. Baking fixes the texture issue, but at that point they are just really overpriced for what they provide, so other options are better.
Just one of those foods I don't enjoy much. I'll eat them if I ordered a seafood platter and they are on there with other stuff, but I won't go out of my way to order them.

I can get them pretty cheap where I am and only but them to make oyster dressing IE cornbread stuffing with oysters in it.

I think it's fucked up to eat them uncooked. You're eating them alive so either you chew them to death or you swallow them whole and let your digestive process kill them like a Sarlacc pit. Either way it's fucked. I think they're the only food westerners eat alive. I can't think of anything else we eat while it's still living.

Dude, you're ruining it for me...

>>21400270
uncooked root vegetables are very much alive

I like canned smoked oysters and oysters rockafeller. Didn't care for raw ones.

>>21400243 (OP)
Cooked oysters are fine, tinned or fried.

Raw oysters are disgusting, the only reason people pretend to like them is because they're expensive, and they only reason they're expensive is because of the precautions to ensure they don't fucking kill you. But by all means, consume raw filter-feeders from 2025 oceans if that makes you feel "fancy".

I feel like I could do a dozen.

>>21400270
>wallow them whole and let your digestive process kill them like a Sarlacc pit.
I will enjoy raw oysters a little bit more now.

>>21400339
Yeah, I don't know if they're directly killed by the stomach or if they die slowly as they move along the digestive tract. Both are terrifying thoughts.

>>21400348
Maybe they're still alive in your poo and get flushed away to form a new colony of poop oysters.

probably one of the worst things ive 'eaten'. when i was 20 i went to a pubhouse with some family and they served oysters there, my dad ordered some and asked me if i wanted to try it. i was dumb and used to eating raw seafood (asian relatives) so i thought it wouldn't be so bad.

dad told me to put some vinegar and chopped onion on top, which i thought was weird but i did it anyway. if something needs vinegar and onion to be palatable then it probably tastes like shit, right? bit the bullet and put it in my mouth with the shell as a cup of sorts.

fuckin vile. ran to the bathroom and spat the whole thing out into a tissue and flushed it down the toilet, rinsed my mouth like five times to get rid of the taste. cold and slimy and sour and awful. im sure some people like them but it's really not my thing. i know they were popular in the 1880s or something because they were cheap and easy to get hold of, but the price people pay nowadays is just straight up insane. id rather have a good steak or something

>>21400348
extra hot sauce then. So they feel the fires of hell.

>>21400358
If that's true people are bound to be eating tons of poop oysters

>>21400243 (OP)
I think they belong in my belly

>>21400373
>sour

if you were going to complain about sour then why the fuck did you add vinegar lmao

Love oysters. Especially the ones with lots of umami. I think it's cool how different they taste depending on where they were grown. Kinda like wine, but clams.

>>21400373
Did you ruin dinner with your parents as an adult child or was it a smooth move? Was anyone in the bathroom?

>>21400243 (OP)

Socially accepted way of showing a chick how you’d eat her out. If you’re ever bored and have money, just go somewhere with oysters, lock eyes with whatever lonely milf is at the restaurant, and start slurping. If you’re not a retard you’ll get laid. Yw my ck friends.

I like em fresh with lemon juice if I can see the water they came out of, otherwise half a dozen kilpatrick will be fine.

>>21400243 (OP)
I feel nothing towards oysters, and they feel nothing about me. and that is how I'd like to keep it

>>21400243 (OP)
just got some oysters myself.
I love em!

olympia and kumamoto >>>>

Based.

>>21400243 (OP)
I hate them but strangely enough I was really good at making oysters kilpatrick when I was working as a kitchenhand back in my 20s
Customers would always compliment the chef on them and it really pissed him off something awful
One time he forced me to eat one and I called him a bald shithead afterward. He got really hurt and didn't talk to me for the rest of the week
