What did the Oyster Say to the Clam?
This pearl is really irritating me!
But seriously folks...today's post is sponsored by the beoysteraware.com site. This is an informative website is run by the folks at Gulf & South Atlantic Fisheries Foundation - Gulf oysters - to help spread awareness that eating oysters raw is perfectly safe for healthy individuals (especially with the new types of post process pasteurization they now have) but that at-risk individuals (with diabetes, immune system problems, etc) should eat their oysters cooked due to vibrio vulnificus bacteria that can naturally occur in these mollusks. It's completely destroyed by cooking.
The site has some tasty looking recipes such as Oyster Cornbread Dressing. Looks really yummy.
