I’m not normally squeamish, I’ve eaten snails, squid etc. and I cooked and ate a whole kilo bag of mussels all to myself a few days ago – delicious! But I can’t eat oysters. It’s not the resemblance to genitalia, it’s the fact that they contract when I squeeze lemon juice on them – food should not wince!
Indeed, one should only eat the food that looks like male sex organs

I’m Ukrainian, I can eat anything. (Except cooked onions. Bleh. )

This is my objection to oysters in its entirety. Linguine con le vongole, on the other hand…. mmmm. Hungry now.

Personally I prefer my oysters breaded and fried.

Heh, oysters taste a bit like female sex organs, too. I’m pretty sure that’s why they’re touted as a cure for impotence.
