There is no way I'm going to eat anything raw.

NEW ORLEANS - Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti looked down at the litter of empty oyster shells in front of him and savored the sweet taste of victory. For Crazy Legs Conti, the bitter taste of defeat could be washed away only by beer.

It's not that they're raw, it's more that when they're raw they have the consistency of snot. I also won't eat something that is alive.
I realize a lot of people LOVE raw oysters, so I probably would too if I could get past the squeemishness, but this is not one of the things I feel compelled to overcome.

If you can hawk up a good lunger and swallow it back down, you shouldn't have any trouble eating a raw oyster.

Raw no! Although I have just to try. That won't be happening again! EVER!

Give me Oysters Kilpatrick anyday and I'm sure I could manage 35 dozen!

Dont think I'll try that.
I'd probably end up eating the first one two or three times.

MMMM, I'll eat just about anything that's snatched from salt water.

Me too.

But not while it's alive.

Depends on the living creature. Oysters? Why not?

On the whole slimy thing, I can handle the texture and consistency of oysters/clams/mussels with no problems whatsoever, but the texture of a rice cake makes me want to shoot myself in the face.

Do you mean those hard dry round things that are a little bigger than a hockey puck?

Those are about as tasty as the bag they come in.

I would rather eat Moose Turd Pie.
