A very interesting piece in NPR on oyster eating; I will just give two excerpts — for the rest, go here:
- Jacobsen does recommend sticking to the “r” rule: avoiding oysters from warm waters from May through August — the months without an “r” — both for safety and for taste.
- Jacobsen is writing about a Belon oyster, also known as a European flat, which he calls the “Sean Penn” of oysters: memorable and intense, but not one you’d want to eat every day.
Take a look!
