Continuing on with the A to Z Blogging Challenge, today's letter is O.
O is for the New Orleans Oyster Festival. "Shuckin' and jivin'" take place June 4-5. In addition to a shucking contest, there is also an oyster eating contest and oyster cooking demonstrations. See more about this festival here.
Fried oysters, oysters on the half shell . . . I may have eaten fried oysters in college, but otherwise, I do not eat them. Nor do I care to. Some people love them, but they look slimy to me. My Grandma Lowdermilk used to make oyster dressing. I wouldn't eat it.
O is also for Oktoberfest. The sleepy hamlet of Robert's Cove has been hosting an Oktoberfest since 1995. Okay, technically it is called Germanfest. Close enough? Do you allow me creative license? How about this -- it takes place on the first full weekend in October!
Festival attractions include German folklore, dancing, singing, and curiously, "old time swine processing." And of course, beer and a brewing competition.
Do you like oysters, and if so, how do you eat them? What are your thoughts on beer and home brewing?
