I was meandering through Farmer Joe’s “Supermarket” (Charley’s joint) keeping an eye out for strange stuff. What’s on the shelves often changes from week to week. Wait, are those jars of oysters? Yep. I haven’t even seen an oyster since my last trip to the US. Read more I’ll take four jars. Now how to fix em. KISS and don’t cover up the oyster flavor. Considering I started with bottled oysters, this came out really super. See less
