Rare Antique Books, 1723 Travels of Chardin in Persia Middle East Iraq Turkey Iran, Title "Voyages de Mr. le Chevalier Chardin", 18th Century!

A rare French edition of Jean Chardins “Travels into Persia and the East Indies”. This book is regarded as one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and the Near East. This printing was published at the same time as other French edition, all are considered first editions. In this book Chardin discusses his journeys from Constantinople to the Black Sea, Persia, and throughout the Middle East (Kashan, Iraq; Armenia, Crimea, and Georgia). The end of his journey took him through the Cape of Good Hope, on his way home.

Upon his return, he was considered quite a celebrity in London; though, according to Evelyn he was not inclined to talke wonders”. He met with famous members of the Royal Society, all of whom took great interest in his voyage. He told them of his witnessing of Abbas IIs coronation, and the jewels and fine ornaments he had seen.

This fifth volume from the 1723 edition contains 10 full-page engravings and folding charts.CHARDIN, John

Great Tinned Oysters from South Korea No seed oils !!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Great canned smoked oysters- the smoke flavor was very strong in the can I used to make faux Oysters Rockefeller. Next time I will drain them a little more and add a few drops of lemon or vinegar. There were 9 plump oysters carefully packed in olive oil in the first can opened and it made a great meal. I opened another can the next day and drained it well. adding a few drops of vinegar The second can's flavor was balanced, smokey and delicious. Online there are many recipe ideas incorporating these delicious oysters. These appear to be a superior quality of canned seafood from South Korean fisheries and in my opinion there are none of the known food safety issues which are my concern when dealing with the admittedly less expensive (half the price) brands from the other asian fisheries. I consider these a good value due to advertised no industrial seed oils and the quality of the oysters. 4 stars due to the cost/ 5 stars for taste

Absolutely wonderful
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
The most beautiful, delicious smoked oysters I have EVER had, and I've been eating tinned smoked oysters since I was a child in the 90's. And South Korea had very strict laws regarding the sustainability and quality which go into the oyster farming, harvesting and processing, making these a conscious and clean pick, and where else can you get these beauties tinned in healthy olive oil?! Thank you Otter Kingdom!

If you like smoked oysters, you'll LOVE these
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
These are absolutely the best smoked oysters I’ve ever had. There’s a subtle sweetness underneath that adds a pleasant balance to the smokiness, and the usual seawater “fishy” note is far less pronounced than in many other premium brands—which I find refreshing. No unpleasant aftertaste, either. And as shown, they’re huge! I think I’ve found my new favorite brand of smoked oysters. I don’t write reviews very often, but Otter Kingdom Premium Smoked Oysters definitely deserved the praise.

These are delectable oysters & love that they're in olive oil!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our family has been eating oysters for years, but this Otter Kingdom brand has to be the tastiest ever-- tender and flavorful-- Highly Recommended. Re: what a previous reviewer had posted: “These oysters come with a Prop 65 “Reproductive Health” warning on the packaging.” After looking into this Prop 65 warning, I found that most products that come from the ocean could have absorbed mercury, so this California Prop 65 label is stuck on a lot (if not all) of fish/seafood products. But each kind of fish/seafood has a different level of exposure. According to the LiveStrong website article: “Which Fish Has the Highest and Lowest Mercury Levels?” the seafood with the lowest mercury content includes: catfish, clams, crab, herring, OYSTERS, salmon, sardines, shrimp, tilapia fish, tuna fish, among others. These should be eaten no more than 2 to 3 times a week (most people stay within that guideline). It’s the larger-sized fishes that tend to have higher mercury content, so oysters are of no more concern than any other small fish. Just wanted people to not get out bent out of shape about this label. The State of CA has a lot of concerns to deal with-- like wildfire devastation caused by their policy to restrict water from flowing from the north of the state, so it would probably be better for them to focus on THOSE life-endangering issues rather than sticking all these "WARNING" labels on food products! Right?
