I will say, I wouldn't use the fork, because then you don't get all the brine/liquid that the oyster sits in. And that liquid gives it a great sea flavor and imparts some of the vital characteristics that makes each oyster different. As I stated in my blog, the oyster reflects its maritime location, like terroir for wine. So I would say SLURP IT UP. Anyways slurping in some cultures means you enjoy it. So what better way to honor your mollusk.Manger La Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590882347657616676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315233032032726472.post-66478669575987625302008-08-14T10:01:00.000-07:002008-08-14T10:01:00.000-07:00I love oysters, but what is the correct oyster-eat...I love oysters, but what is the correct oyster-eating/slurping etiquette?

My mouth is watering now. What a heavenly taste on the pallet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
