GUINNESS GUIDE TO OYSTERS CAPE CODS : An oyster of superb flavor. Its chief enemy is the starfish, which wraps its arms about the oyster and forces the valves open with its feet. The battle lasts for hours, until the starfish is rewarded with a good meal, but alas, no Guinness. OREENPORT : These oysters have a salty flavor all their own. They were a smash hit with the whalers who shipped out of Greenport in olden days. Oysters contain iron, copper, iodine,, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, Vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin. The Emperor Tiberius practically lived on oysters. BLUEPOINTS : These delicious little oysters from Great. South Bay somewhat resemble the famous English ‘natives’ of which Disraeli wrote: “I dined or rather supped at the Carlton … off oysters, Guinness and broiled bones,’ and got to bed at half past twelve. Thus, ended the most remarkable day hitherto of my life.” CHINCOTEAGUES : Many epicures regard Chincoteagues as the supreme aristocrats of the oyster tribe, but some West Coast gourmets prefer the Olympia oyster, which is no bigger than your thumbnail. Both Chincoteagues and Olympias are at their best with Guinness. OYSTER BAY: Oyster Bays are mild and heavy-shelled. It is said that oysters yawn at night. Monkeys know this and arm themselves with small stones. They watch for an oyster to yawn and then pop the stone in between the shells. “Thus the oyster is exposed to the greed of the monkeys.” LYNNHAVEN : These gigantic oysters were Diamond Jim Brady’s favorites. More fishermen are employed catching oysters than any other sea food. The Damariscotta mound in Maine contains three million bushels of oyster shells, piled there by prehistoric Bradys. LL OYSTERS taste their best when xA. washed down with drafts of Guinness—what A Professor Saintsbury in “Notes On A Cellar-Book” called “that noble liquor—the comeliest of black malts.” Most of the malt used in brewing Guinness comes from the fertile farms of Southern Ireland, and the yeast is descended from the yeast used by Guinness in Dublin one hundred and ninety years ago.
