Angels on Horseback (!)

Angels on Horseback (!)...

Oysters are sometimes regarded as a symbol of misery. Perhaps this is due to the fact that you can acquire
hepatitis from eating raw oysters. (A business associate of ours did just that some years ago). So avoid the raw oysters, and perhaps try one of these recipes instead? Once again, no guarantees are offered. But, try to be certain of the source and quality of your oysters. Please verify that they are uncontaminated.

Oysters, bacon. Trim the beards from as many oysters as may be required, wrap each in a very thin shaving of fat, streaky bacon (cold boiled bacon is the best); run them one after the other onto a silver skewer, and hold them over a toast in front of clear fire until the bacon is slightly crisp; serve on the toast immediately.
