I don’t really see why people rave so much about them, but at least I now feel confident that I could eat them if offered. Probably not something I’d go out of my way to choose though.

Philip:Hi Philip, thanks for dropping by. It really was such a wonderful day, I couldn’t describe it in words, so thought I’d let the pictures tell most of the story. There was something special about having it freshly “picked” – how could I have refused? PerigordVacances is a good read – off to subscribe now :)

I look forward to Christmas Eve for the Oysters – although I am the only one in the family who really likes them.

Nice thought collecting your own though.

Phil

However, despite several attempts to appreciate oysters I have to admit they are one food item that I cannot manage. Well done you!
