OYSTER, I was at a work party where they were serving oysters and beer. I had never wanted to try oysters before—they looked slimy and nasty and gross. There was this woman at the party that my company was recruiting and she and my coworkers were teasing me because I wouldn’t eat the oysters. Finally, she walked up to me and held something out: An oyster on a cracker with some cocktail sauce. And she said, ‘If you eat this oyster right now, I will take the job.’ It was hard to swallow but I liked the salty taste. And when she took the job my boss was so happy that I was promoted to head recruiter. That oyster may have been slimy, but
It tasted like victory.” Suzanne Tampa, FL

My dad and uncles bought a couple dozen fresh oysters and we shucked them on the beach. They were really slimy and each on only held a bite of meat. I absolutely hated the oysters at first, but after eating a couple, I really started to like them. You have to get past the slurping but they’re really good. Perfectly fresh, raw and salty,
