When she was a child, my wife's uncle kidded her about oysters, saying he'd tie a string around one, have her eat it, then he'd pull it back up. It took me until she was over 30 (8 years of marriage) to get her to the point where she would enjoy oysters. Now she cooks with them, makes stew, has nothing against them. I think sometimes we prejudice others, unknowingly, unwittingly, by parading our biases. Dave Ross
