1423 The Oyster Cult

from The Food Chain · host metrofarm

#1423 Michael Olson host Virginia Shaffer, Host of Lady Oyster Blog and Author, Oyster Society: Adventures with the Shellfishly Motivated I remember the moment I was induced to slurp down a freshly-shucked oyster.  That so many of us remember that moment leads us to ask:    What is it about the oyster that leads us to become its cultists? Topics include a look at the history of the U.S. oyster business; a “taste” of different oyster varieties; and how the oyster spawned its cult of people.
