And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I could eat all those myself, plus some sourdough to soak up the juice.
Very good eating, and easily $50 for the tray in Seattle. Wonder what it'd be in NYC? Not to mention the wine. Had a similar meal on the balcony of a restaurant in Tréport, France, overlooking the English Channel at sunset. Had a lovely Semillon as I recall. Don't recall the cost but did not really care at the moment.
Back in my college days in Dallas, a local restaurant had an all-you-can-eat oysters on the half shell item on the menu for about $15. You had to eat three dozen to break even. I ate five dozen and topped off the meal with a fried shrimp basket with fries and Cole slaw. That would probably kill me now!
Good eats !!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the virgin olive oil for that sourdough.

ReplyDeleteI need to be drunk, and I gotta have hot sauce for oysters on the half shell.
ReplyDeleteTo each his own...
ReplyDeleteNo tabasco?
ReplyDelete{Probably only half of them would work.
ReplyDelete2 dozen, yeah I could eat that. Around $75 around Maryland.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till Apalachicola oyster fields open back up. The prices for oysters will drop in half.
ReplyDeleteHave they set a date? I'm with you on this one!
