Damn are you guys discrete. Loads of red squids in the last couple of statements. Now let’s see how you fancy fancy food?

**Never have I ever eaten an oyster.**

**I’ve eaten it.** My parents have oysters and “surf n turf” as a New Years tradition; so when I’m there - I eat oysters. Not too impressed with them though ☹

Yes you do 😛

But don’t be shy 😉

According to the [squidsheet](http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pdvHjMZSDCGFCQODnHv-1MQ), **IvoryTowerDenizen** looks to be the first one pushed off the cliff, deep into the squid infested seas. The only remaining hope is if **Ellen Cherry** has been been caught in bed.

**Mahaloth** ; you have owned a car 🙂

Fried? I’ve only had them raw with lemon. How do you fry them?

They have a consistency like thick snot, but not a bad flavor. Which, surprisingly, isn’t much like the flavor of squid.

Well, I’m no chef and have never actually seen them being cooked, but at their best IMHO they’re lightly breaded and then briefly fried. Sometimes the breading can have seasonings - paprika, maybe, or thyme? - which also gives 'em a kick.

Here are some recipes I found online; I offer no guarantee of quality or palatability:

I have eaten oysters. Although I had calamari for lunch. Fried! On a chef’s salad. It was tres yum.

I have never been caught in bed by an adult or a kid either. Thought THAT one has been close.

And with that shocking denial from **Ellen Cherry** , you all hear a _snap_

What was that, you wonder? Eerily looking around while standing on the cliff, the fog creaping up against you, making it very hard to see even the palm of your own hand.

Next, you hear an _aaaahhhhhhhhhh_

Followed by a _splash_

…and then they were 10.

\*\*IvoryTowerDenizen \*\*is the first to fall into the squid filled abyss ☹

I have eaten oysters. My most memorable oyster-eating was in Japan, there was a restaurant in Hiroshima that served us an eight-course oyster meal: oyster soup, raw, fried, chopped in fried rice, etc. Yummmm.

Just a tad 🙂

And since I’m at it… will **Ellen Cherry** be the next to go? (how? that remains to be seen)
