Bonus Quote of the Day:
“He was a bold man that first eat an oyster.” –Jonathan Swift
Friend and frequent yet invisible citizen of the TBU “Little Boy” met up with TB at the tail end of Jazz Fest this weekend. As we sat catching up near the Lagniappe stage the doors actually locked us in. But we weren’t leaving until we finished our beer. And Little Boy was polishing off a plate of raw oysters. He paused on the last one and asked me to take this picture. We call it “The Last Oyster in New Orleans.”
Who is Little Boy you ask? Sorry, I could tell you, but he’d have to kill me.
I was in NOLA last weekend and ate my weight in oysters, raw and Rockerfeller – AWESOME! Little did I know it would be my last meal of the Filter of the Sea. I hate to think of what they will be filtering now! When I was younger I used to say my favorite color was the green color inside the oyster. In fact, I still like that color alot! Since I knew I could only eat oysters in months that had an “r” in them I used to say that my birthday was in the month of Jurne. Needless to say, Oysters are my favorite seafood next to scallops.
Great picture! I have never tried oysters…I’m too big of a chicken, I guess.
Gee wiekllirs, that’s such a great post!
