I didn't think 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.400 I needed to read the description because to me, oysters 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.840 are oysters. There's one style. They came I'm not kidding, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.960 with a scoop of like Italian ice on them. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.960 Oh yeah, that happens. What, Yeah, that's very common. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.080 Is this cuisine Italian cuisine? 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.040 No, no, this is common. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.080 Just because it's Italian ice doesn't mean it's Italian cuisine. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.400 It's just like it's a little shaved ice on top 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:25.960 I've had. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.040 Okay, Yeah, well, I have to say it was more. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.080 It was like a scoop. It was not like a 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:35.480 shaving of ice. It was like a scoop of essentially popsicle. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.760 And they were like different flavors, Like it wasn't just 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.080 like citrusy. It was like like one was like cotton 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.160 candy flavor.
