Smoked Oyster Spread

When I was a child smoked oysters were a very adult delicacy like caviar or European cheese. Now you can get a can of the little ones for $2.50, and their size doesn’t matter if you mash them into cream cheese and spread them on the densest, whole-grainiest bread you can find. Of course, you can also just skip the ceremony, drop the Tabasco straight into the can and eat them with a fork over the sink.
