Really? I miss Dottore a lot. He was a thought provoking guy - one of the many PPOTers I would like to meet.
But home with your wife, slurping an oyster, and you think about some guy on PPOT?
We have to talk.

New haven style oyster knife. No doubt. The tip is thinner and slightly angled. I am a Neanderthal (no offense meant to Neanderthals) with a regular one.

And yes. I like a bit of cilantro in my mignonette.

I admit I am sitting here at my computer while my bride sleeps in the next room.
But
Wife? Oysters? I may have to go wake her up.

I can not fathom discussing oyster knives and cilantro Mignonette at a time like this.

OK - I'm definitely going in there.

Best oyster knife is from R Murphy knives. Made in the town I grew up in. Pretty much any seafood shop in the North East uses Murphy knives.

Home with the wife slurping an oyster?

The other way 'round seems uh...better.

wood handles are pretty

but Vicky-Knox lists a red no slip handle - choice of FIVE different blade patterns based on New England locations

Somewhere is my family's oyster knife - I wonder if it was designed for Gulf of Mexico oyster species?

and BTW a great and readable book on oysters is Life on the Half Shell

How about the first guy to eat a chicken egg?
“Hey! Something just came out of that chicken’s butt. I wonder what it tastes like?”

Crowbob 04-25-2020 06:28 PM

I'd say the first guy to eat a chicken egg had already practiced on snake, bird, turtle, platypus, fish and possibly frog eggs.

KFC911 04-25-2020 07:08 PM

^^^ nope!

Two dinosaur eggs, over-easy, fried in butter, not too greasy...

the first 'guy' to eat a bird egg was a monkey or prosimians - maybe 50 million years ago or earlier

the first guy to eat an oyster was likely in southern Africa 1/2 to 1 million years ago; based on findings from a famous cave... humans started relying on food resources from the sea in a big way

Thank you for the history lesson professor. :rolleyes:

Now that we’ve put my attempt at levity out of the way I have a question about oysters. A couple of years ago we got a dozen fresh oysters and when we priedthem open about half of them had small crabs inside. Is this common? Knowing nothing about oysters we just removed the crabs and cooked the oysters. Nobody got sick and died.

RWebb 04-26-2020 06:22 PM

cross-species pride?

did they have little flags they waved?

Never seen that. Crabs? Weird.
