My thoughts:
This by weekend nosotros went to the oyster festival inwards St. Michaels. One of the events was a oyster stew competition. For $5 yous got a mug in addition to could elbow grease 8 dissimilar stews in addition to then shape your vote. I honestly had never had oyster stew earlier only I liked it a lot. There was i that I loved only all of them were pretty similar. They were too pretty rich; lots of cream in addition to butter. Which, to me, overpowered or hence of the oyster flavor. After the sixth or seventh sample, I fifty-fifty started to experience a footling queasy. When I noticed that local oysters were nether $7 a pound at our local Safeway, I figured I'd elbow grease to brand an oyster stew that was both flavorful in addition to non hence heavy. To attention hit that goal, I turned to i of my favorite ingredients: evaporated milk. I dearest it because, undiluted, it is super creamy in addition to rich tasting only non heavy at all. In this case, I thinned it out amongst a chip of 2% milk in addition to actually liked the result. It didn't gustation "canned" (the biggest fright I respect people convey close using evaporated milk) in addition to it actually allow the oyster's flavour smooth through. Some of the stews nosotros tasted had bacon only I didn't actually similar the texture it had inwards the stew in addition to it seemed to brand the stew form of oily. I liked the see of a smoky flavour hence I added or hence lean ham from i of those spiral sliced hams that are hence readily available correct now. It did precisely what I wanted: smoky flavour amongst no extra fat.
