Raw oysters

This weekend we went to dinner at the Boathouse with my dad, Susan, Sarah, Dustin, and Colin. Well they ordered raw oysters as an appetizer - Mallory and I had never had raw oysters before and we weren't feeling too brave - so we decided to go back and try them when they were half off (in case we didn't like them - we wouldn't feel like we were wasting our money on snot...I mean, oysters).
So...today happened to be half off raw oyster day. We went and tried them several different ways - slurping them up with cocktail sauce. On one Mallory put the oyster between two crackers - he doesn't recommend this because you actually have to chew to get it down...gulp!
Did we like them you might ask...well...let's just say, next time, we will probably try them steamed with cheese and bacon. :) It wasn't the taste that was so bad - it was the consistency! But I am pretty proud of us for being so adventurous.
