He said he couldn't take it as last time he ate an oyster he almost chocked to death.Well that was my attempt at making up an oyster related joke!
The first men replied bemused "They should just slide down your throat".
So the other man said "oh well I'll give it another go". So he grabs the oyster and swallows in in a big gulp. Immediately he starts choking and ends up in a fit on the floor.
People gather round and start hitting him in the back. I can't understand it, he is gurgling and finally the oyster flies from his mouth shooting through the air and clanging into the metal of the bar.
The man who initially offered the oyster rolled his eyes and remarks "Your supposed to remove it from the shell".
BeOysterAware.com is a campaign to make people aware of the dangers, fact and health benefits of eating Gulf oysters. They aim to educate everyone on vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria that can be found in raw seafood that could lead to disease.
As well as offering treatment advise they give recipe ideas and the best guidelines on how to consume these tasty treats.
I have not eaten an oyster since I was very young and it is probably something that I should think about trying again, some time soon.
