#18 Eat an oyster

So the deed has been done! A number of members from my family absolutely love oysters - particularly fresh oysters. But admittedley it's always been something I've felt somewhat uncomfortable about. Firstly, the idea of eating a 'meat' raw. Secondly the smell. And well, the similarities it has with a range of body parts and bodily functions comes to mind as well.

But the challenge was set and this morning I popped over to the fish shop after the gym and purchased myself 5 fresh oysters. Not five because I anticipated enjoying the first so much I'd like to try a second though. The extras were so I could coax Owen into trying one as well, and the others as 'spares' just in case something went, well quite frankly, wrong.

Gladly, nothing went wrong, and we now have three spare oysters in our fridge. Anyone want them? I don't think I'll have another one. But we might just try a cooked variety!
