I have super sensitive tastes buds and they (and the rest of me) can't stand eating anything raw (oysters at the top of the list). But like you, I tried them too (no cute teen boy to wrestle though). My dad asked me to give it a try. I did. I puked on his feet. He never asked me again.Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-79099403637980294982011-06-07T17:05:35.723-05:002011-06-07T17:05:35.723-05:00Before I'd read far enough I knew this was not...Before I'd read far enough I knew this was not horseplay but teenage loveplay.<br /><br />No oysters for me, thank you, even from a sexy boy.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-23103177523990570252011-06-07T13:52:53.271-05:002011-06-07T13:52:53.271-05:00Great picture and shows why I can't bring myse...Great picture and shows why I can't bring myself to consume a raw oyster.

A mussel or two in paella is great, maybe some clams in chowder, but I can live a long, happy life without ever encountering another one of those slimy creatures.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-7071518853638304142011-06-07T12:07:28.143-05:002011-06-07T12:07:28.143-05:00I worked in a restruant and at the end of the nigh...I worked in a restruant and at the end of the night what was shucked were up for grabs.
