The world is your oyster

I spent the weekend in lovely Norfolk and ate oysters at the Hoste Arms in Burnham Market, which is something of a tradition.

They were the best oysters I've ever eaten. Giant in comparison to the ones you get out of season and so fresh and sweet. They are the taste emodiment of the smell of the sea. Heaven.

What caused me to write this up (apart from wanting to relive the moment) was that I finally realised what the oysters are best in months with r in their name rule was all about. List all the months without r in - May, June, July and August. All the months with r in - September, October, November, December, January, February, March and April. Ooooooh right, it's the cold months! Or as my friend CharlyMouse puts it - all the months with r in make you go brrrrrrrr with cold.
