She almost ate the whole thing!
A guy came in to my workplace and asks the chef to place a 3 ct. diamond ring inside an freshly shucked oyster so he can propose.
The couple walks in, the guy orders a dozen raw ones and a bottle of Riesling.
We delicately place the ring inside then it is strategically placed on the tray so she will grab it first.
Things are going pretty well for them at their dining table. They're laughing and it looks like they are playing footsie, while all of us are watching in the background.
She reaches for a spoon and slaps what seems to be a half a jar cocktail sauce on top of the special oyster. The guys mouth drops and before he can say "UGH" she sucks it in. Her face contorts, she drools the contents into her hand, looks at the guy, and the guy proposes. They kiss, cocktail sauce smeared on their lips and us clapping in the background...whew!
