My grandmother used to make an oyster and egg stew usually for Friday lunch during lent.

She would make a "blonde roux" add trinity and chopped boiled eggs and then thin it a bit with the oyster liquor. A couple of minutes before serving she would add the oysters and chopped green onions.

This was served with french bread and was absolutely the best thing I ever ate!

I have tried to make it a few times, but it just doesn't come out like Maw Maw's. I really miss her and wish that she had written her recipes down or I would have been interested in cooking enough to pay attention to how she prepared things.

No doubt. Old school poor folks deal... Many of my family members added eggs to gumbo or spaghetti because thats the only protein they has readily available onhand.
