What's the worst tasting meats you've had that aren't chicken, beef, pork, or lamb? (lemmy.world)

Oyster. Anything with the consistency of snot that you're supposed to swallow without chewing isn't food. I can make my own salt water that tastes much less disgusting.

I quite enjoy a half dozen sea-snots (just fresh with a wedge of lemon please), but I can see the lack of appeal.

Tucking into fresh oysters with lemon juice and tobasco is one of the only times I enjoy being alive

tucking in to anything salty with lemon and tabasco is also pretty good though

You're not supposed to chew them?! I love oysters but I chew them up.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to chew them. I don't know how you're supposed to get any of the oyster flavour otherwise.

Hear me out. Have you tried them grilled in garlic butter with a little sprinkle of parmesan?

If it's not for you then you won't get any hate from me. I just wanted to throw that out there.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can totally chew them

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

I don't hate myself that much, though.

As an oyster fan, I can confirm that different species make a pretty enormous* difference to both flavour and texture.
