“A decent oyster doesn't need much else to really make it sing – try this beautifully simple combo”
"Oysters are funny old things. Now they’re considered a decadent aphrodisiac, when only 100 years ago they were the pigeons of the sea and would be chucked into pies as peasant food. Aphrodisiac? I’m not sure, but I do seem to have acquired a taste for them over the last 3 years." Jamie Oliver
