Oysters at Borough Market

Wow. It looks like I've really been kind of ignoring this page for a while. Truth be told, I've been enrolled in this really busy course that takes away all my waking hours.

But as I have just a little bit of free time now, let me take some time to promote the Oyster Stall down at Borough Market.

I'd just like to say that these are probably one of the best oysters that I have eaten in my life.

Ok, well, I don't eat Oysters all that often, coz I don't actually like how they taste (some are not all that fresh either). Ether that, or they're too big and induce some sort of gag reflex when it tries to go down my throat, or some various other reasons.

Anyway, these ones are really fresh and tasty. Succulent, if that's the word. They're in the same section with the Raclette stall and the Pieminster stall (both really awesome things to try too). It's not that cut-throat, like most oyster bars are. Probably just 8 pounds for like.. 4 oysters? It depends on whether you order the medium sized oysters or the large ones though. I always order the medium ones.

Then the guy loosens the oyster from its shell and then gently rests it back on. He does this so you can slurp it in your mouth a lot easier I think. Then he passes it to you and you can help yourself to the tabasco sauce, the lemon wedges and the special sauce (which I assume they prepare themselves) at the side.

Add some of the special sauce. Not too much, but don't be stingy either! Squeeze some lemon.... and VIOLA.
THE AWESOME OYSTERS!
(I put a little too much special sauce here. Opps)

And you get a happy eater. :)
