It is claimed that oysters act as an aphrodisiac
and perhaps it does, but I'm not a big oyster fan so I can't claim that it has affected
me in any... romantic way. I have observed some other mannerisms with people
eating oysters though. I recently accompanied a group visiting Port Elizabeth
for a couple of days and we went to Barnacles Restaurant in Seaview for a
lunch. Two of the ladies ordered oysters as a starter and both ate the first
oyster in the serving at the same time. Those of us on the other side of the
table all burst out laughing as the two of them acted in exactly the same
manner as the ate it. Oyster in one hand while the other hand's little finger
stood up (ala fancy ladies drinking tea). As the oyster slipped into their
mouths they both did what can only be described as a slight levitation followed
by a very satisfying mmmmmm....... Makes one think that there could be
something behind the whole aphrodisiac claim.
Oh yea. It's an oyster eating thing.
ReplyDeleteI love them, but unfortunately can't eat them any more due to a food allergy.
Looks like fun. The lemon makes me do that too.
