Angels On Horseback, One Of The Best Oyster Appetizers Ever
More About Angels On Horseback
Angels on Horseback are quite similar to Devils on Horseback which are dates wrapped in bacon.
One of the earliest references to Angels on Horseback was in the New York Times in 1896. In that newspaper article they were said to have been invented by Urbain Dubois who was the Chef to the German Emperor. We do know they weren't invented in Germany but most likely in England where they have been served dating back to the early 1600's.
In the 1980's the Chicago Tribune called the oysters intriguing when they were served at the mayor's inaugural ball. The water chestnut was included in that version and the oyster and the water chestnut was wrapped in bacon and deep fried.
At a lot of the bars in the American south the dish is often prepared with the oysters put onto a bamboo skewer and each oyster is wrapped with bacon and secured with a wooden toothpick. The skewer of oysters is then soaked in Italian Dressing for a few minutes and then they are grilled on a open fire grill and they are sprinkled with fresh rosemary. You end up with a tasty dish you won't soon forget. At some bars they are soaked down with hot sauce and they are advertised as Devils on Horseback.
You'll also find bars especially in Florida making the same dish only substituting shrimp or scallops for the oysters. I have tried them all three ways and they are delicious.
