I mean there's zero point zero chance of me eating a fucking oyster but that's horrifying

A comedian once referred to oysters as “snot on a shell”. I have zero interest in ever eating a single one.

My goodness. Everybody knows oysters have proper eating seasons. You aren’t supposed to eat them in months containing a vowel. (No but I love oysters. Cooked. Thoroughly.)

Didn’t the rule used to be you weren’t supposed to eat them in a month without an r?

Yah! I worked at an oyster bar in the distant past, and vaguely recall the guideline was actually something about spawning times?

Well, I have a new nightmare kernel.

Same same!

Is it the texture or the taste?

I hope they were MAGA.

Raw oysters. Before it was raw milk. It’s almost as if there’s a—naw. That’s crazy talk, lib.

Our ancestors cooked the SHIT out of the food for a reason

It’s called making an INFORMED decision. Ignoring evidence usually had BAD consequences. Some folks, however, prefer the “trial and error” method, especially when other people are the lab rats.

I do believe that Vibrio was one of the targets of that coordinated surveillance program that got 86'd recently. Yikes.

Oysters were once poor peoples food, over eating & destruction of oyster beds from bad fishing techniques and the industrialisation of harbours meant they became rarer and food for the posh. I'll only eat seafood that's cooked, uncooked is a totally unnecessary risk.
