    " It was excellent "
    notyourmomma ate it and said...
    I love love love oysters. This is a lot easier then the ones my mom used to make. I'll have to give this version a try. Don't you just love to grill oysters on a hot fire and give them a squirt of lemon and melted butter? Hot sauce is necessary of course.

    I love oysters.. My idea of a perfect day is sitting on the beach with the sand between my toes..eating raw oysters as the sun goes down.. I know then that LIFE IS GOOD and to be thankful.
    I have to try this..

    An interesting tidbit. Tom Fitzmorris, the Food Critic for the New Orleans Tiems-Picayune for over 33 years wrote in his book Tom Fitzmorris's New Orleans food (a great book) that Bernard Guste, the fifth generation owner of Antoine's which originated Oysters Rockefeller called him and asked for his recipe for Oysters Rockefeller. Guste said he needed something to give away to the people who asked for the recipe, which is a very, very closely guarded secret. The original recipe never had spinach, and was probably watercress, parsley, fennel, but spinach is is what most published versions use. One fact that is known, green food coloring was used so it looked like spinach. And it has no sauce of any kind. And there was a roux for the base. That much is known.
