<shaking my head>

No. And why? Why do people insist upon cooking oysters? It's wrong I tell
ya! Oysters are meant to be iced down, given a mist of lemon juice and
*downed*. Period. <sigh> Okay, I will concede a little bit...if you have
to cook them, they need to be dressed with some spinach or bacon... but
beyond that... it's just wrong.
