Ode to Oysters

“As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”  Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast


Oysters as the bearers of precious, beautiful gems 
Oysters as the salt of the living sea
Oysters as the cold, fresh, authentically, earth-bound taste on your tongue
Oysters as a symbol of fertility, pleasure, coitus
Oysters as nutritional foods 
Oh oysters-
you wonderful, pleasurable, delicious shells of silvery meat!
