THE RARE AMINO ACIDS IN OYSTERS TRIGGER INCREASED LEVELS OF SEX HORMONES AND ZINC AIDS IN THE PRODUCTION OF TESTOSTERONE.
A FEW GOLDEN RULES
DO order a few of each variety. Give yourself multiple tastes to identify the character
DO pay attention to flavour and texture from begining to end
DON'T drown oysters in topping. Naked is best, with a squeeze of lemon if you must
