Fresh oysters, alternate with a nip of Tabasco and rock salt, With wholemeal bread and butter and wash down with Guinness.
Used to be served just like that at Conran's pub, the Cow, in Ladbroke Grove.
Heaven on earth.

Do you know why they are an aphrodisiac?

In a word, zinc.

P.S. I'm not keen on fresh oysters, but love smoked oysters.

[Lockhouse]

Jesus, my worst nightmare, did you eat it?

Dont mind my steaks still moo-ing but sea snot slithering across the plate? I draw the line there.

Yes I ate it but didn't mention it to the missus. Can't get fresher than that.

To add additional piquancy, Dita von Teese and female friend were at the table next to us eating exactly the same.

Mrs EO refuses to eat those tiny prawns, for the equal and opposite reason

[EternalOptimist]

They do look awful but taste lovely, up to you if you want to chew them or not.

Though I do a a friend who refuses to eat mussels on the basis they remind her of the female genitalia.

Catching oysters is a potential Plan B.

The guy in this youtube video an ex software dude reckon he makes 100K from his little boat. But its only pocket money for him as he sold his software company and lives on the interest of that.

The Alchemists of Wall Street, 50 minutes long, worth watching from home.

Oysters, seafood - yuck, just underwater bugs. I don't see anyone getting all slobbery over cockroaches, but prawns are just the underwater version.
I thought the first bite is with the eye and Oysters look like something someone just coughed up.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you just swallow them without chewing ? ...... Hmm maybe that's why they purport to have aphrodisiac qualities

It's got to be pop.

Cod. I'm posh like that.

POP obviously. Don't go cheap on me on a date, it won't get results.
