I got the idea from an acclaimed Alinea dish called "Hot Potato Cold
Potato" where the diner gets a chunk of cold boiled potato and a slurp
of hot potato soup in the same mouthful.

I'm going to have piping-hot steamed cabbage with butter and black
pepper on a Chinese porcelain soup spoon. At the very last instant, the
diner puts a chilled raw oyster onto the cabbage and eats the cabbage
and oyster together.

I'll let you know how it goes. :-)

(Should be fine for us, but if you're not a fan of raw oysters it
wouldn't be so good for you.)
