Little to do with woodworking other than most of the execution was made on a charc… cutting board… honesty prevents me from claiming creation of these knives (which would have certified a legitimate woodworking status),
and the fact that someone may ask me how I did it.
Being the festive season and most of us will overindulge in the gastric delicacies, not to mention the brain killers (drinks)… I thought I’d toss this in to the mix as a break from my MDF, laser and puzzles.
Do you kill Patrick or prefer to keep it anonymous so you don't have that guilty feeling when you squash them against the roof of your mouth… shucks, I'm prepared to do the dirty work myself.
Nothing better than shucking your own oysters while they still revel around in their own oyster piss. If you buy them already open, all that “oyster flavour" and sea water gets washed away by plain tap water, depriving you of the full essence of the sacrificial little bugga.
If you haven’t tried the surgery, get at least a dozen… unopened
and may I suggest you do not pry open on the thin edge(s)
as they will break and flake, getting into the meat of the oyster, but rather tackle the hinge end
and “drill” away till you get enough penetration to lever it ajar...
(sorry about those civies, but I am not in the workshop)… then slide the blade forward till you sever the abductor muscle attaching the top shell. A quick slice of the abductor on the lower shell, a flip with the knife
and the oyster is ready for ravishing.
without the crunch of the shell.
SWMBO prefers a squeeze of lemon
and a sprinkling of pepper,
however, to me, that's just as sacrilegious as washing them under a tap... the garnishing is with the compliments of the weeds in my back yard… then it’s thyme to eat.
For the pussies out there that don’t want to self tattoo, you can hide behind a kevlar glove,
which looks more like a woolen (pussy) mitten, or use a towel that’s gonna be hard to get blood out of.
This little darkish spot,
is a tattoo I earned years ago when there was a bit of Sydney mud transferred from a Sydney Rock oyster to the knife, when it slipped.
Spread those cheeks yourself, and enjoy even more... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year(s).

i dont like em on the half shell raw, people douse em with tobasco and swallow whole, whats the point ? i like em on the grill cooked in the shell with some butter, garlic and parmesan. and maybe a dash of hot sauce too. love smoked oysters also !

philistine... pHiLiStInE...PPHILISTINE! You crush it against the roof of your mouth... all that oyster piss runs down the back of the throat... if I wantta taste garlic, I'll chew on a bulb washed down with a large bottle of tabasco.
Your brother Goliath was not dropped by a stone... or a bloody cooked oyster, ... and before you chime in... it wasn't the taste that killed him!

Many, many years ago I went to a restaurant where they had oysters... no au natural, but chef's special... I ordered some and after a taste asked for my money back... nearly got tossed out.
Raw oysters are like a Rolls-Royce... a Kia just wont do the same job.

I really don't know what you are referring to (but I offer apologies if fitting))... do people object to garlic or Black Russians... the latter two words could invoke the ire of the WOKE brigade....
OK, the shots, are shot... ... time to hand out my puzzles to my neighbours... they embrace rednecks.
In WOKE language... bi, till after the drinks!

Damn you Pottzy, you had me guilt tripping and I was about to hang up my guns, but then I realsied... Every time I got led into sin, wasn't always my instigation! Let she who live in glass houses stay clothed all the time if they have pride.
