Oysters on the half shell

Ah, I love it when I can say to myself, "Self, you're ridiculous."

For years I have been too chicken to try "snot on the half shell" for fear of my gag reflex in public. Tonight I went out to some delicious sushi with a friend who is a little bonkers for oysters. I was persuaded into trying them. I took mine with cocktail sauce and horseradish...open wide...and down the hatch! I did chew it and I was quite surprised at how non-snotty it really was. And quite frankly, it was very delicious.

So, once again...
Self, you're ridiculous for not trying oysters on the half shell sooner. Sigh. Am I getting hungry again??
