    They try to hide it, nobody would order them if they told the truth.;)

    I pigged myself out on oysters on Vancouver Island. I've also eaten live clams, which were delicious. And still wriggling. ;)

    To my eye, with the extended 'antenna' handle, and the starburst motif, it looks mid 20th century, very much 'atomic', 'space-age', 'Sputnik', etc. - not sure I understand why enameling would indicate earlier age, a lot of my enameled pieces are MCM. No idea what it is (maybe just a trinket box or the like?), definitely missing its base (perhaps a tripod?) - an inkwell seems unlikely, not really a practical form for that use...

    Have never tasted caviar or live clams. :vomit::vomit::vomit::vomit:

    The only time I have eaten oysters I was over halfway through a bottle of wine & the DH tricked me into eating one. He regretted it later that evening. ;):eek::eek::vomit::bag::bag:

    @KSW - I agree with your daughter. :hilarious::hilarious:

    Raw oysters was one of the few things my Mom wouldn't eat and I don't either, though, of course being a Floridian, have had the obligatory drunken slurp - my ex loved them until my Food Manager certification many years ago, though it's uncommon, showing him the effects of vibriosis put him off (he's bit of a germaphobe)...

    I love 'em raw, but I did think the Po' Boy fried sandwiches in Virginia Beach were damn fine.

    Love caviar. The salmon kind is good, and even lumpfish roe, but then, I always loved cod roes on toast as a child.

    Good question. When resting it stays upright but with the slightest push, wobbles like a roly poly. The base does possibly feel weighted. Also, although the inside is perfectly round the base has a tiny bit of a flattening, which probably helps it not tip over. Mystery remains!

    I haven't a clue what that thing is.

    I've never eaten a raw oyster and never will. Raw shellfish is on my NOPE list with a capital Nope. My grandmother loved them though; she was a New York farm kid who ended up working as a maid in New York. At the time raw oysters were a fad everyone had to serve, including her Jewish employer. Who didn't eat oysters and sent them back to the kitchen every time. Grandma learned to love 'em.

    I've had caviar. I wasn't impressed. Fried oysters are a whole different kettle of shellfish than raw ones. Still not eating any from Red Tide areas though!

    No big fan of caviar myself, probably because I'm not much for salt - but have consumed quite a bit since I do love crème fraîche and sour cream...

    Love Oysters Rockefeller. I tried raw oysters, can't say I didn't like them but, I didn't like them enough to eat them again.

    Raw egg. Another case where you'd better be able to trust the supplier.
