I recommend that in order to get init...Hi Shantanu<br /><br />I recommend that in order to get initiated, one should (In USA) try ordering a mixed selection of East Coast and West Coast Oysters. As a rule of thumb, generally speaking, The East Coast (e.g. Malpeque ) Oysters are subtle, more refined. The West Coast (e.g. Kumamoto by way of Japan) ones are very intense. One is gourmet cuisine, the other is backyard BBQ. Kumamoto (originally from Japan)is the most East Coast like.<br /><br />Needless to say even a good Oyster can get killed if it is not shucked correctly. Hence it is imperative to find an Oyster Bar with a good Shucker. A bar with one with a vast selection of Oysters is secondary.<br /><br />A final advice, throw away the training wheels (all the condiments/garnish) ASAP. Oysters are meant to be enjoyed as is without anything camouflaging its taste (just like a Filet Mignon is meant to be enjoyed without an A1 steak sauce :) )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340516.post-76657111278622415992009-10-21T11:28:19.876+05:302009-10-21T11:28:19.876+05:30Hi Shantanu!Have visited the travellers tales afte...Hi Shantanu!Have visited the travellers tales after long (was on a diwali break hence was enjoying home food))<br />Coming to the Oysters !!!look too slimy for my liking..have been wanting too try it though..guess should just gulp it down with my eyes shut....:)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215638412048472029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340516.post-85030446363680131392009-10-19T12:56:47.571+05:302009-10-19T12:56:47.571+05:30Dear Shantanu,

When we visited Alaska a few years back, we had salmon every day!! I love it. <br />The dessert as usual looks sumptuous. <br />Bay area weather is unpredictable in fall, but when it is nice, it is great. Some of the clearest skies are in fall.Vamsee Modugulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990519471419860046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340516.post-1200064694013248472009-10-11T22:50:57.801+05:302009-10-11T22:50:57.801+05:30tempting as usualtempting as usualHAREKRISHNAJIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137830344437763830noreply@blogger.com
