"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This fruit salad came from Aunt Beth and Aunt Maurine I think, but was always on Mom's holiday table, and remains on ours today. I think Aunt Beth added miniature marshmallows. We love the fresh fruit, even though we have these fruits year round now. It is still a festive great salad. With fresh pineapple available it might work better, and Kiwi's would be a bright addition.
