Dress up an oyster....

If you have never tried an oyster or don't think you would like the texture, then you are not alone. The first time I tried an oyster I thought I was going to cough it back up. Since moving to Virginia, I have met people who either love them or have never tried them. The great thing is you can get them so fresh here and I find myself craving them on a regular basis.

There are many different ways to enjoy oysters other than just the usual tabasco and lemon. We had a dinner party recently were we finely chopped radishes and mixed them with white vinegar. They add a real punch to the taste. I have also tried lightly shredded parmesan cheese with finely chopped Virginia ham or bacon bits with a squeeze or lemon. Also, very good!

Here are a few other ideas on ways to dresh up an oyster:
