Oyster chat is turning out to be far more fruitful than I expected.

The 'snails and oysters' scene in Spartacus, in which Lawrence Olivier's character attempts to seduce Tony Curtis' character in a Roman bathhouse,
was removed from the film at the demand of the New York Legion of Decency after only two test screenings.

It was re-assembled from long-lost footage in the studio vaults, and re-included in the film in 1991. The dialogue needed to be re-dubbed. Tony Curtis re-recorded his own, and - at the suggestion of Olivier's widow - Anthony Hopkins was brought in to voice Crassus, doing his best Olivier impression.

Like how oysters and lobsters used to be poor people's food.

I used to have oystercatchers in my garden.
They're noisy as fuck, and the useless cunts never caught one oyster.

In victorian times oysters were used to pad out beef pies

Yeah, I've seen recipes for those.
I can't even remember the last time I had a proper pie.

I really like them,
even if they have made me puke violently on the last couple of occasions I've eaten them.
