Because I don't like oysters, so why would I like Bluff oysters.

oh harden up. open the shell and let them slide down, nothing better.
these people that put them in batter or smother them in vinegar or garlic etc just takes the bluff taste away.
I think about 4 dozen in one setting has been my record.
having a father who used to open them for fish shops and takeaways, i remember going home to Dunedin one easter and bought a sack for $150

Is the Bluff taste you speak of the run-off from the aluminium smelter?

No aluminium mentioned here, but plenty of good stuff.
Does it for me!
Nutrition
Oysters are an excellent source of zinc, iron, calcium, and selenium, as well as vitamin A and vitamin B12. Oysters are low in food energy; one dozen raw oysters contains 110 kilocalories (460 kJ). Oysters are considered most nutritious when eaten raw.[42]
Traditionally, oysters are considered to be an aphrodisiac, partially because they resemble female sex organs.[43] A team of American and Italian researchers analyzed bivalves and found they were rich in amino acids that trigger increased levels of sex hormones.[44] Their high zinc content aids the production of testosterone.[30]
Dietary supplements may contain calcium carbonate from oyster shells, though no evidence shows this offers any benefits beyond what calcium may offer.

It doesn't affect me....they don't run those locomotives on Wairarapa Line trains, because they are banned from running passenger trains and all Wairarapa jobs for locomotives either involve a freight train in one direction and a passenger train in the other direction, or passenger trains in both directions. So not really my problem. However, just another case of getting what you pay for....pay for cheap Chinese rubbish and you literally get cheap Chinese rubbish. I see they've had similar problems in Australia too.... • Asbestos scare strikes Chinese imports to Australia |
