I really like oysters, and I won't eat them alone. They're just a weird thing to eat by yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No oyster in the world tastes as good as a Gulf oyster.
You don't do oysters and red wine together. That's a no-no; you just don't do that. I love a nice white wine with oysters.
A typical Christmas is me shucking oysters. I love them and I always get them in at Christmas.
I make a wicked clam chowdah, and linguine with clam sauce. Oysters I like to eat raw, and mussels in either a white wine sauce or in beer with paprika.
I'm a firm believer that the world should be your oyster when you're cooking. People should open themselves to other cuisines - there are a lot of hidden secrets all over the world.
I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals.
With the exception of octopus, I don't think I've met any food that I didn't like. And by the way, sometimes I do like octopus. I'm just not crazy about it by itself. I love sea urchin. I love uni. If I'm going to die of anything, it's going to be gluttony.
When I used to do the Edinburgh Festival, there was a bunch of guys selling fresh oysters and I'd eat ten daily - marvellous.
I think oysters are overrated, and I don't love the texture.
I'm not crazy about oysters and offal and brains and stuff like that. It's vegetables that I really like. I worked in the River Cafe restaurant when it first opened, and I used to eat the leftover vegetables on the plates. They were so delicious.
