"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:
My Mom used to make this salad (Recipe II) at Christmas time. She wasn't the only one, it seems that it was a sign of the times and many people my age had Mothers that made it. I still enjoy it, reminds me of home.
