How I Celebrated

A small can of caviar was $5 something. I thought it would be expensive, but to put it in perspective, it is almost $40/lb. Nate did the math because he compared it to the red caviar at the deli and that was the price of the red caviar, so it was just barely cheaper. We had to look up how to serve it because I was not positive what it is supposed to go on top of. Obviously, there are fish eggs on some sushi, so I imagine it is pretty versatile. Here, we made what they called a "classic caviar platter" with toast, "creme fraiche", and some egg with the caviar (I omitted the onions). The verdict is Nate hates it and I think it just tastes like fish salt.

History

Punchbowl
 I was going to say that I didn't think I had had caviar before, but I am pretty sure I had some on sushi. Well maybe not "true" caviar since it has to come from a certain species of fish.
