It is amazing how much difference there is in oysters. Location seems to be everything! The oysters that come from the Chesapeake Bay are much milder than the ones from Swans Quarter (my personal preference). I reckon the same is true all over the world.I had heard all kinds of good about raw oysters. Meh. Doesn't gross me out, but kinda bland and the texture leaves plenty to be desired.
I tried it once and it was so salty. I had to spit out the first mouthful. Horrible. And I used to feed that to my kids? My son came by at just the right time. He took a mouthful and went home. Tossed out the boxes he had in his cabinet.

Zhizara said:Nutella. I wanted to try it for the longest time, thinking it was a hazelnut spread. I finally bought some (expensive) and found it tasted like a kind of thin and very bad chocolate sauce. I won't waste my money again, and no, I wasn't able to use it up. I threw it away after trying several times.
Sorry, I meant steamed Fiona
Yes frying in oil would be nice with some cheese sauce on top maybe
Dark chocolate almond butter is good. Much better than Nutella IMHO.

I really hope your son didn't toss them out, but donated to a food bank. Even hamburger helper is better than an empty tummy!
The ingredients list should have tipped you off- lots of sweetener and vegetable oil.I'm sure it would if that was what I was hoping for which was a nutty change for peanut butter.
I had no idea it had (so called) chocolate in it and that it would take over any possible taste of the nuts, and such lousy tasting chocolate at that.
Thanks for the info though, I'll have to try it. I'll bet it would be good spread on some gingersnaps.

Oh, I love cooked or smoked oysters. It's just the raw ones that are meh. Someone told me I had to try it with hot sauce. Then I will only taste the hot sauce. What a waste of a perfectly good oyster.Deep fried or oyster stew. Now those I can fill up on. But not raw. They are also good done on the BBQ grill. Cooked right in their shell and juices. A squirt of lemon and a drop of hot sauce.
