Bummer. Well done Mr Somerset. You're up.

(Julian regrets showing this thread to me.)

Before you mentioned that you can drive from there to Wales, I thought you might have been drinking a Japanese whisky. Don't they make good whiskys?

Mr Somerset already said Talisker, and that's the only one on Skye. Are you sure you're not drinking it? I mean, that's not the answer?

No. I'm drinking whisky, not a cold remedy.

How do you know about Nytol?

Great game. Good night all.

Yes. You called it Mr Somerset (the name sticks for me). You're up.

This was just so much fun and entertainment! Yay! Can't wait for the next one.

Yes! That's it! The one thing that was different was its age. Julian wanted just one more, and the oyster man wanted to impress us. So he pulled out this HUGE oyster and proceeded to tell us about its age (it was 15 years) and that the larger they are, the older, and also more sour. Yes, Julian like...

Ooooo. Very good, Mr Somerset. Yes. Keep going. You're almost there!

The oyster had an observable quality which made it predictably less sweet. What is that quality? Mr Somerset is getting very warm!

No. They are hermaphrodites. Please excuse the previous silly playfulness. It (the bisexual part) was in an article I recently saw about oysters. I'll have to look that up again. In the meantime, no, it wasn't male.

Fresh from the sea. No ice.

Oh, and the one he didn't like would be great to be used as a nice soap dish.

All the oysters were fresh from the sea, naked, dressed identically. The small ones were delicious. Why? What is it about the small oysters?

Good guess, but nope.

It was an oyster shed. We were the only customers. And I don’t wear perfume.

LGTrotter wrote:He thought it smelled of soap from the oyster man counter thingy.

No soap.

I thought they were bisexual.

Closest yet. But why?

There was also one answer that had potential, but, sorry, just wrong.

My husband never ever gets embarrassed about anything ever.

djewesbury wrote:It was inappropriately dressed (as in salad, not as in Janet Jackson).

He likes them bare and naked.

It wasn't fresh?

No. They all came out of the ocean one hour previously. So, all super fresh.

LGTrotter wrote:He was sad because it was the last one.

Yeah, he might have been a little bummed, but that wasn't the problem.

The oyster man behind the counter shucked them all for us.

Wasn't too small. Wasn't too briney. And I don't know who Adrian Bridge is. Sorry!

Glenn E. wrote:The one he didn't like had not been sufficiently cleaned and so contained sand/grit?

No. Just shuck it and slurp.
