SLICE OF LIFE

Fun with Food: Oysters

By Judith Martins, Miss Manners

.

Dear Miss Manners,
Please tell us how to eat oysters correctly - fresh or stewed.

Gentle Reader,
It is difficult to eat anything correctly when you are stewed. Raw oysters are eaten whole with a teensy-weensy oyster fork, with which you rip them from their shells, which are gripped firmly in the left hand, unless you are right-handed.

Oysters encountered in soups are eaten whole on the soup spoon. Those found on plates, as opposed to shells or bowls, are eaten with a fork.
