"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a special treat for Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. They are my favorite appetizer at Paul’s Carriage House, a Rye institution for over 30 years now. You can serve half the oysters raw and make the other half with this yummy filling.
This makes enough for 2 dozen oysters on the half shell. If you don’t know how to open your oysters and especially if you’ve never done it, it’s worth watching a video. You will need sturdy gloves and an oyster shucking knife, which they typically sell at fish stores.
