After running errands in Chinatown this afternoon, only two tasks remained: to buy wine and to buy oysters. Direction: Le Baron Rouge!
I really like going to Le Baron Rouge in the late afternoon when the crowds have not yet filled the space. It is nice watching the clients and the life of the barmen. It feels like the time has stopped. And there are those traditional huge oak barrels waiting for customers to choose which wine to take home.
We purchased some Côtes du Rhône (to go with the cheese after the oysters) and had an apéritif at the bar. One of those moments when you say to yourself Vive la France!
Do you eat oysters every day?

haha. I wish. Twice a month in the winter time is closer to the reality.

Our lake in Finland does not produce any oysters (at least not yet) but I would love that!

Really? Why not then try to start breed them like crayfish?

We have always caught some mussels in our lake but never dared to eat them. Apparently according to some regional environmental offices (“ympäristötoimisto”?) they are not edible. So, I think cultivating oysters would be stretching it. It is only recently that we have caught trouts in the lake. But hey, who knows, maybe one day we can have oysters (but then they would not have that salty seawater taste!!).

Just stretching, Finnish delicacies are what they are. Lets enjoy what we have.
