    Careful Muddy. There is no "R" in May. Bad month to eat oysters. It will be at least September before I'm back in em'

    That was a good rule for your great grandfather. But now a days we have refrigeration to keep oysters fresh and alive while shipping/trucking. They harvest them here year around.

    It don't have anything to do with keeping them cold in storage. It has everything to do with the brackish water heating up they live in. I'll stick with the months with an "R" in them if you please.

    My wife eats 'em year round. Don't be a pussy

    Of course, we go to snooty places that give you the personal backstory to every oyster you meet, their environment, which Canadian island they vacation on and their lineage.

    The shit is gross people!

    I usually get quote the look after the wife orders her oysters when I say "Hey, can you throw a dozen in the deep fryer for me?"
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    There's a phenomena called cultural wisdom. Its the reason we don't eat poison mushrooms, or do other stuff like eating oysters in months that don't have R's.
    In other words, some ancestor spent many hours on some prehistoric toilet learning that rule the hard way so you wouldn't have to. Challenge that wisdom with care, Grasshopper!

    I usually get quite the look after Lynn orders her oysters when I say "Hey, can you throw a dozen in the deep fryer for me?"
    Sorry Lenster, I used my Secret Committee powers to change your quote just a tad to fit my personal situation.

    The key word in your post Mr. P-hole is "prehistoric". Do ya' really think the FDA would allow sales during the non-R months if there was a true threat these days? Now, I wouldn't suggest going to Miami in August and eating the oysters you collected on your trip to the beach, but these days, Oysters served year-round come from farms with no chance of red tide contamination. Plus, you have northern farms where the water is cooler if you still wanna be a wuss about it. I gots ta' go with Arty on this one.

    Tell that to every seafood restaurant on both east and west coast that will sell oysters to literally millions of oysters to people in the next 4 months (months without R's).

    If they made people sick in those months wouldn't every hotel resort be backed up with tourist diarreah flowing from the bathrooms?

    Not to say you WILL get sick every time you eat them in months without a R. It's just that the risk is MUCH higher. Some folks just have to learn the hard way.

    Cap, yesterday was May 3rd, so it's barely past April(with an "R")....plus, it was a high-falooting, white table cloth place we ate at....I'm still alive, this morning, and don't have the screaming-sheeits, so I guess the oysters were okay.

    I was gonna say the same thing right after he posted it, but I was afraid it'd make his head swell.

    (Got'ta say, I snickered at that one.)
