Isabella Soares-Sousa’s Reviews > Portrait of an Oyster: A Natural History of an Epicurean Delight > Status Update

what the hell do you mean miss olivia the oyster girl would shimmy an oyster down her body and when it got to the top of her foot she would kick it in the air and catch it again on her forehead and do the shimmy all over again?!!

slurping oysters from each others mouths?! they were so freaky back then

oyster dust capsules?!

The man with the dark galasses goes into the background of oysters in Europe, mostly in France. Super cool chapter with funny moments and goes into the difference of some famous oysters and their competitors. Also goes into the farming of oysters and how maintained is done to maintain the “upmost quality!”

what the hell do you men 80% of the oyster population was eliminated because an outbreak of the herpes virus in 2013?! like this book is so fucking cool but also like so random

oyster drills release an acid that burns a hole through the shell of the oyster and then slurps it out?! wtf why did i not know this

Ain’t no way this man just compared eating oysters to sex and that it looks like a vulva and have the best explanation to back it up. Also people are getting horny eating oysters?!!
