My friend and I were enjoying pre-theatre oysters accompanied by a crisp Pinot Grigio when I felt something odd in my mouth. Thinking it was a rather large piece of grit I plucked it gently from my mouth as surrepticiously as possible. When I looked down into my hand to my delight I found a pearl. Knowing oysters are farmed and not well aged I was really surprised at my little find. It came from a Chesapeake Bay Oyster.I showed it to our waitress and no-one on staff that night had seen a patron find a pearl before so I was a mini celebrity at the bar for a few minutes.
