Oyster. Anything with the consistency of snot that you're supposed to swallow without chewing isn't food. I can make my own salt water that tastes much less disgusting.
I quite enjoy a half dozen sea-snots (just fresh with a wedge of lemon please), but I can see the lack of appeal.
Tucking into fresh oysters with lemon juice and tobasco is one of the only times I enjoy being alive
tucking in to anything salty with lemon and tabasco is also pretty good though
You can totally chew them
I don't hate myself that much, though.
Hear me out. Have you tried them grilled in garlic butter with a little sprinkle of parmesan?
If it's not for you then you won't get any hate from me. I just wanted to throw that out there.
You're not supposed to chew them?! I love oysters but I chew them up.
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to chew them. I don't know how you're supposed to get any of the oyster flavour otherwise.
As an oyster fan, I can confirm that different species make a pretty enormous* difference to both flavour and texture.
