You actually only need about half the quanity of food they suggest that you order per person.
i'm planning on going to La Tasca this week but I hope it's not as bad as that.
If you are still hungry, then you always order more dishes, either trying new ones or going for the ones you liked the most again. -

They really are fab and used to be poor folks food until 100+ years ago.
First try acclimatising yourself by drinking Oyster Stout (best Stout evah, etc)
Then try them cooked - like in Steak and Oyster pie, or Oysters Forristiere.
Then raw - but they have to be happy, with a few drips of lemon juice on them.
By that time, the real question won't be do you like them, it'll be if you're a swollower or a chewer.
Which is kind of appropriate for Valentines Day...... -

Registered 7 years agoOyster stout doesn't actually have oysters in it, you know. In fact it's only called that because it's the traditional drink to have with oysters.LB, you really are a massive geek.

Registered 9 years agoNooooo - that Porterhouse Stout is worth the trip to Dublin to taste and is infinately superior to Guinness.
It doesn't taste of Oyster - it's just rich and creamy and lovely and...........

Worse still is a big multi-layered platter of Fruit de Mer, where some of the stuff is still trying to escape (if it's a good one).

It's an unreconstructed boozer - and the nearby Holly Bush or White Bear are more cozy and welcoming - but it serves a fine pint of ESB & Chiswick, so hopefully it'll at least have the Porter in a bottle. -
