A How To Guide to Preparing Oysters
Nice to see an oyster post. We love them up here in Maine and have some of the best in the world. Champagne vinaigrette is also a great option to eat oysters with. A note on Oysters Rockefeller pernod wasn't invented yet, use Absinthe and watercress instead of spinach.

How to Prepare a Glass of Absinthe
I'm sorry, but as an absinthe drinker I'm calling BS on his statement that the effects of absinthe is somehow different from regular alcohol. Is it exactly the buzz you get from beer? No. Does it make you drunk? Yes. In no way does it remove your inhibitions while leaving you "clear headed" as he implies. You are just as messed up as you are with regular alcohol.
I think it is pretty much an urban legend that it make you hallucinate, or makes you in any way more creative than you are normally.
Most of the crap you hear about it is marketing stuff. The good news is that it is now readily available in the US so people can just go buy it and see what it is like first-hand.

Absinthe Myths
Ok, I'll pipe in with my own actual experiences drinking Absinthe...
I live in the US, but have had Czech, Spanish, and French Absinthe (quite a lot of the Spanish and French stuff). A friend brought the Czech bottle of Hills back from a trip, and I found a supplier that I could get bottles shipped from Europe for the Spanish and French brands (despite the illegality of it at the time, since the last time I imported any was over 5 years ago). I have also had friends try to brew homemade Absinthe with a ton of Wormwood.
The Czech Hills brand is FOUL. It is cheap, crappy absinthe. The French and Spanish brands were MUCH better. The home made stuff was worse than the Hills - MUCH worse. And there is a lot of variation of flavor between brands, so I highly recommend trying different labels.
Now, as far as effect? I got drunk. No hallucinations, no other effects, just DRUNK. Many of my friends would claim to feel a host of effects, often similar to a light pot buzz, but in my opinion they WANTED to feel something and so they did. But we certainly did get quite drunk quite often drinking this stuff. During this time of my life, I was putting down a fifth of vodka and plenty of beer EVERY weekend, so I had quite a tolerance for alcohol going, but I still gotta say this stuff has a kick, especially if you just start doing shots of it instead of doing the whole water and sugar routine.
But still, it was just getting drunk.
No idea what the state of American absinthe is, since I pretty much walked away from the hard drinking, pub crawling period of my life about 5 years ago.
Anyway, no concrete scientific data here, but at least some first hand accounts from someone who drank quite a bit of it from a number of different labels in a few different countries.
