i don't thing my aunt meant this comment to be quite so dirty

toby, mia, my roommate, and i went down to CT for a lobster fest with my family (which was delicious; we ate clams, mussels, mushrooms stuffed with scallop, shrimp cocktail, lobsters, etc) and the conversation turned to oysters and how several of us thought they were totally gross. my aunt:

"And they say they're an aphrodesiac! I guess the thinking is, once you eat that, nothing tastes as bad."

... I think maybe she did!

 

[xfer]

you don't know my aunt!

 

[Nut Butter]

how else could she've meant it?

 

[goatschool]

xfer, you know i'm on your side when i make the observation that you are a breeder.

 

[xfer]

i think she was saying it metaphorically, like, ummm i dunno!!!

 

[xfer]

nick, i think you mean "greeder".

I, for one, really like oysters.

 

[xfer]

i like pretty much any food on earth, but i have tried raw clams a couple of times and raw oysters once and i was really NOT into them.

 

[Nut Butter]

I didn't know you could eat oysters any other way than raw... blech

 

[The Dope]

I actually like them best fried, but I do enjoy raw as well.

 

[xfer]

i love the fried oyster po'boys i got in New Orleans.

 

[xfer]

i also love oyster sauce, and oyster stuffing.

 

[FuSoYa]

i like mayonnaise

.

 

[xfer]

notice i said "pretty much"!

other foods i dislike include natto, cooked swiss chard, hot dogs, and cheez puffs!

 

[xfer]

p.s. i always have to repeatedly say NO MAYONNAISE when i order oyster po'boys because apparently it (or some kind of tartar sauce, YUCK) are standard on the damn things.

 

[Baliset]

you guys are crazy. mayonaise is wonderful in moderation.

 

[inkybmistro]

i can't look at mayonase unless it's already on a sandwich. it looks like gloobery liquified skin.

 

[Nut Butter]

its aspect can be revolting, true. I get a feeling I've already mentioned this on this forum, but I was traumatized as a youngster when I saw a mayonnaise commercial in which a large bald man ate a heaping tablespoon of the stuff before releasing a creamy, satisfied "mmmmmmm"...

Now that I think about it, it seems so surreal it might've been a nightmare.

i love how at the back bay T stop hot dog stand, they actually have a condiment bottle of mayo to put on your hot dogs. mixed in with some mustard it is quite the delectable treat.
