I could never understand someone basing their choices based on looks. At the moment and for some time I, though I tried them, anything jellied is not making it’s way into my mouth.🤢

Oysters are a type of bivalve mollusk, a marine creature with a shell that is divided into two halves. They are known for their unique texture and fresh, salty taste, making them a popular seafood delicacy. Oysters are a good source of zinc, iron, and vitamin B12.
Here's a more detailed look at oysters:
What they are: Oysters are marine bivalves that live in bays and oceans. They are known for their hard, irregular-shaped shells.
What they taste like: Oysters are known for their briny, salty taste and creamy texture.
What they are good for: Oysters are a good source of zinc, iron, and vitamin B12. They are also low in calories.
When to eat them: Oysters are traditionally considered to be in season when there is an "r" in the month, from September to April.
Where to find them: Oysters can be found at seafood markets and restaurants.
How to eat them: Oysters can be eaten raw or cooked.
How to prepare them: Oysters can be shucked (opened), served on ice with lemon, or cooked in various ways.
Important Note: When eating raw oysters, there's a risk of foodborne illness. It's best to eat them from reputable sources and to cook them if you're concerned about the risk.
Where to find oysters in Nova Scotia: Oysters are a popular seafood in Nova Scotia, and can be found at places like the Fisherman's Market in Halifax and Raspberry Point Oysters.
While oysters are often considered an aphrodisiac, there's no definitive scientific proof that they directly increase sex drive in humans. However, some experts suggest that the nutrients in oysters, like zinc and omega-3 fatty acids, might contribute to overall sexual health and function.

@moonbus saidApparently I should have mentioned that my, “I’ll try anything once” comment had to do with food stuffs as the thread title had the word menu in it. I guess if the word was more of an “Anything” listing napalm would definitely be a choice I would have chosen, among other things, ya know like skydiving sans parachute.In the future I will try to chose my responses more thoughtfully.👍

@moonbus saidAt our local grocery store it’s “Two For One”, this week.
I tried sushi once. Took it home, cooked it, tasted just like fish. What’s the big deal?
Octopus - saw this documentary where a scientist had one in his house in a tank. CCTV through the night showed the octopus leaving the tank going into the kitchen, checking out the kitchen cupboards and then back in the tank ready for morning like nothing had happened.
It's not so much about not wanting to eat a sentient being. It's more fearing their revenge if they get organised! 😲
