"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

Note from Auntie Kathy: I looked up beef base which is one of the ingredients. I'm sure it's sold lots of places, but I definitely saw that Target has it for $3.99
