Those giant oysters got me all wound up, but Melissa says she never heard of them in Australia.

The wailing and the sobbing sound you are hearing is moi crying my eyes out. We don't have oysters here. When we do, it's only in posh 5-star hotel restaurants, flown in from Australia and from France.


Waaaaaaaaaah! I miss my oysters!

WOW! Those would be huge oysters!! We have some that you can't get down without a bite or two, but not that huge!

I definitely leave the chicken feet for someone else.. Eeew!

((((((((((gentle hugs))))))))))


I like my oysters raw, please! One of the nicest things about Christmas and New Year in France is that you get to eat oysters, foie gras, smoked salmon and chocolate, drink wine and champagne and call it a meal :-)


A few years ago I went to the opening for a swanky resort in Bali, and they had flown in oysters from Australia... boy oh boy... you can guess where I was stationned for the rest of the evening! The friend I was staying with kept hinting that oysters were supposedly aphrodisiacs, and I kept muttering "only in your dreams, daaaahling" before marching off to get some more oysters. Oysters were what I considered a sort of reward for working in the hotel industry lol - whenever the 5-star I was working had oysters at the buffet, I was in the queue for some.

I'm pretty sure that oysters are aphrodesiacs, Poppy!
