joethefoodie Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 First batch of ramp pesto from probably about 250 grams of ramps. Blanched the leaves, but do like to wait to add the cheese until I make the pasta or whatever it is I'm gonna use it on/in. When I set up the food processor, I also noticed a crack in the work bowl; a new one is on order. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

small h Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Got my first pint of this season's strawberries. They are very good! And for $7/pint, they should be. I got some broccoli rabe, and some more asparagus. Sea bass roe. Gigantic oysters. And I still have ramps from my first bunch, but if anyone needs them, there's a serious glut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 How will you address the gigantic oysters, and, no, I don't mean honorific. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every time I try to prepare oysters some other way, I wish I had just eaten them raw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Aren't oysters gender-fluid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 So what honorific would that be? Should I play it safe and call them all Doctor? or Senator? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voyager Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Gigantic oysters terrify me. I'd probably just close my eyes tight and genuflect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I love them! More bang for the buck. And they actually did cost a buck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Okay. I'll bite. How do you eat them raw? In a tartare? Certainly they can't be gulpable. Are they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
