How much raw oyster can you eat in one go? I have tried about 6 before and that was enough for me.
The Acme World Oyster Eating championship belt — leather, with a silver dish featuring an oyster on the half-shell — hung on Bertoletti's skinny hips. The 22-year-old Chicago resident took the title Saturday by slurping 35 dozen of the big bivalves in eight minutes.
"I could probably do a couple dozen more, especially if they were charbroiled," said Bertoletti, who holds the endurance oyster-eating record, having downed 53 1/2 dozen in 2007 before calling it quits. "Although they're great raw."
Do you like oyster? I love them due to their special kind of taste. The kind that either love it or hate it taste.

I like smoked oysters and oyster stew, but I am not sure I could gag down a raw oyster. I am almost gagging at the thought of eating 35 dozen oysters at one sitting. There is no way I could do that! There has to be an easier way to get into the Guiness book of world records.

I don't know how many I'd eat, but I'd sure have a good time with them! I love oysters! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like them natural, not cooked, except for oyster patties my grandmother used to make - they were delicious!
