Anne L: I was a teenager and we were on the boat of some of my
parents friends in Puget Sound. We got the oysters straight out of the
water. This friend of my parents said to imagine I was biting into a fresh
peach. It was slimy and disgusting. Not at all like a fresh peach! I think
I spit it overboard.
Marilyn: I was twenty years old in Paris - a real innocent abroad.
A friend served oysters at dinner. I had never even seen an oyster before.
When I was told they were raw, I was horrified and I yelped, "Does that
mean they're still alive?" I could only eat one. I thought it was disgusting
and kind of thrilling.
