Consider the Oyster

by M.F.K. Fisher

posted by lz in Reading Archive on 11Apr2003

mouth watering prose about the joys of oysters. I have an undeniable craving to make an oyster loaf... M thinks I've lost it. Oyster stew anyone? She tempts me with her descriptions of the tastes. I've been reading this one on the bus every day this week and have caught myself licking my chops as I read.

Update: now finished with this lovely short glimpse into the head of a gourmand. I don't even like the taste of oysters, yet MFK has me dreaming of gulping down raw bodies along with their liquid. I will be reading every book I can find that MFK has written: it is too much of a treat to my soul to pass up.
