Are oysters really all that?

>>21454753 (OP)
Oysters and martini is a nice combo for summer

>>21454753 (OP)
Not particularly

>>21454753 (OP)
No they aren't.

Yes bitch im just sick of these millenials with sugar palates putting fucking jams on compotes on my oyster

>>21454753 (OP)
only if you like rocks filled with cum

>>21454753 (OP)
All what?

>>21454753 (OP)
love me some raw oysters with a bit of lemon juice I can devour massive amounts of them. I don't really understand cooked/steamed/fried oysters though at that point I'd rather have fish or calamari or something. I respect it as a valid topping but don't understand/consume cocktail sauce with them.

>Are oysters really all that?
Not when you put stupid shit on them like in that pic.

>>21455095
Theres like 1 leaf and a little pepper. Not stupid, perfect amount of garnish if you want garnish. 1 drop of lemon juice or nothing is really perfect also.

>>21454753 (OP)
The worst food i've ever had.

>>21454753 (OP)
Yes, they're my favorite food. I learned to shuck them myself and I buy them from the supermarket once or twice a month.

>>21454753 (OP)
yo is that cress on there
if so awesome

>>21454753 (OP)
If you like seafood in general and are okay with swallowing something with the texture of a loogie, you'll probably like oysters on the half shell.
If the texture is a deal breaker, you might still like a cooked oyster dish like Oysters Rockefeller or fried oysters.

>>21454965
Damn are you me?

>>21454965
My favorite is raw oysters on half shell, but damn do I love oysters rockefeller or breaded & fried oysters too. I also love making an oyster chowder a few times a year. Raw or cooked, oysters are still awesome.

Do they really make you horny?

>>21455525
They're high in zinc, which increases semen and testosterone production, which makes you horny

Don't care for em cooked but i can destroy 2 dozen with some nice mignonette or fresh horseradish
Tabasco is nice too

>>21454753 (OP)
Taste like bageena

>>21454836

they're all that AND
get this
AND
a bag of chips

I was walking into whole foods the other day and this group of younger black males walked past, and one of them, he looked like a manosphere-adjacent with a beard and a sportsball jersey with his favorite "player number" stenciled on it (probably listens to masculinity crisis podcasts), was like "bro, wait up, we gotta stop at whole foods" and the "bros" were looking at him like wtf let's go already and he practically stamped his feet and was like "I SAID, 'CAUSE I WANT OYSTERS NIGGA"

the reason this was funny to me is that oysters are something commonly thought of as effete and trifling in my cultural context, and this guy was yelling to his "bros" about them in a near-panic like his masculinity depended on it

thank you for reading my blog

You sound like a bigger freak than him

i don't think that was a true story, anon

Stop slurping sea boogers

>>21459540
It was a true story, but I'm also not very normal, so he was spot on there

>>21454753 (OP)
If oysters are so great, why do people have to drown them in toppings before they eat them? You never see anyone eat them plain, there's always at least lemon juice or Tabasco sauce.

>>21460813
They're just one of those foods that are salty and rich so they pair well with an acidic sauce like lemon juice or cocktail sauce, like boiled shrimp do. Plenty of people do eat them without sauces or other accoutrements though.

For some reason, I like sea urchins quite a lot, but not a fan of oysters.

>>21454753 (OP)
some boomers compare it to eating pussy

>>21456387

look at these things and consider the fact that they then have to move through your intestinal tract and out your butthole. do you really want your poop to consist of oyster?

Oysters are farmed so are meant to be cheap, they become a status symbol the further you go from the coast.

People who live on the coast don't really value them, they are awfully overpriced. We like flakey fish which actually tastes of something.
