[Leica] IMGS: Blacksburg Oyster Roast

[Douglas Barry]

More good stuff, Tina, it certainly gives a flavour of the festivities, even 
if I can't taste the oysters.

Mind you, knowing Irish oysters, I think cooking oysters is criminal. 
Myself, I have never eaten a cooked oyster, just raw ones with a nice pint 
of Guinness, or a chilled white wine, but Guinness is better, no matter how 
good the wine. I mean the Guinness in Ireland, of course, as it can be 
different abroad. I'm going yum yum just thinking about it, and must try the 
local fish shop to see if they're getting any nice oysters in.

I see in one of the photos that someone is yielding a knife to open an 
oyster, so they must be different to mussels which open when cooked, but 
remain clamped shut before that - unless they're dead, and then one wouldn't 
want to be eating them unless one wants repeated visits - in extremis - to 
the toilet...
