Tried Oysters for the first time this weekend

If you want an aphrodisiac take a gram of ching. The Rogano oyster bar in Glasgow used to be famous for oysters and ching, half an hour in there and yer trouser tent must have been enough for two six foot marines to sleep in.

If you look at an oyster shell from the front it looks like a vagina. Hence the horn effect...I think.

Are they expensive? Maybe its implied that as you bought them for dinner you have entered into a contract of guaranteed sex, something no implicit with a Big Mac.

They aren't really expensive at all in oyster growing areas, but tend to be eaten in expensive restaurants; it's usually the best restaurants that can be trusted to only sell really fresh oysters, sourcing them from a reputable merchant or even directly from the fisherman. A good chef will inspect each oyster before putting it on ice for you to eat; he'll be looking for signs of shrivelling or an eggy smell (even very slight signs); sure signs it's a bad oyster. Obviously the attention to detail, the very choosy sourcing, the risk of having to chuck out a few oysters and the skills involved in checking them cost money, and that's what you're paying for.

That looks like an umami oyster, or possibly a 'zeeuwse platte'.

It is a myth that Oysters are an aphrodisiac. It's part of greek mythology.

Oop North, I've heard that a Big Mac does in fact imply just that.

Forgive me for being pedantic, but I think you might mean that you heard that a big mac implies guaranteed nookie; I don't think you mean you heard it oop north, because something tells me you've never actually been oop north.

If you had you'd know that Fish and Chips and a can of Vimto is the northern aphrodisiac.

Does putting NSFW underneath the NSFW image really help?

The seafood place I first tried them in Sn Francisco had them $1 a go, for big ones. Hardly breaking the bank.

That was the restaurant I ate an oyster and got crabs.

Now you're talking.

Oysters. Bleck.
