Now, this does not surprise me!
"Tomorrow is National Oyster Day Did you know France is the No. 1 consumer of oysters in the world? It's said King Henri IV of France used to eat 300 at a single sitting!"
I got sick on a bad oyster in Victoria and it turned me off oysters for quite a while....it can do that! I felt very sad about thinking I wouldn't ever eat another raw oyster again but then we were in the south of France, dining on the Mediterranean somewhere and I got over it. The very best oysters I've had were in Ireland....remember those, Elaine....wow!
