Russia: Red caviar 'price rockets'

I do not eat caviar very often. I suppose even less in future, if prices keep rising. I have noticed price rises in lots of foodstuffs, not just luxury products.

[Pollster1]

I only eat caviar when others are paying at a business celebration (it's tasty but way too ostentatious to buy for eating at home in front of my kids).

[Venturer]

I tried Caviar once, Once was enough. Nasty stuff.

[jazusamo]

Like sushi I have never tried caviar, I wouldn’t even consider eating raw fish or their raw eggs, but that’s just me I guess.

[BlackVeil]

Those pics make me hungry ...

[tet68]

Never cared for it.
Too salty.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Caviar is nothing but a salmon or sturgeon embryonic egg with salt water in a membrane.

No taste, but then again, those fools who pay high prices for encased salt water also have no taste, or brains.

Fish roe from certain species does have some substance and taste, but it looks like puke, and doesn’t taste much better.

NO CAVIAR> Let the fish eggs live so that we can have more Gefilte Fish.

If I was worth a billion dollars I'd have precisely *zero* interest in *any* type of caviar.Unfortunately (for my coronary arteries) I cannot make the same statement regarding prime rib.

I’ve caught lake trout with salmon eggs.

[Winstons Julia]

OMG! HOW will I survive WITHOUT CAVIAR! <-—said no one, ever.

[jazusamo]

Yep, so have I. Fish eggs make good bait.

You can catch *anything* with salmon eggs, and the more bright neon-dyed they are, the better. I think caviar is a pretty garnish, but to spend $100 to eat it out of a tiny can? Nyet.

I actually like caviar. I guess it's a matter of what appeals to whom.

[AppyPappy]

I last had it at Oktoberfest at Mountain Lake in Virginia. It was served with smoked Salmon, hard boiled egg and red onion. It was worth it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzdBepAAffU

I was disappointed with the fight, although they were delicious.
Maybe they were sluggish because it was a paylake in so. CA.

[Pollster1]

The trick is to use it almost as a condiment, like chutney, where the salt is distributed over a larger item and will not be overpowering.

Heeey, Once you get past the smell, why you..........

[QQQQ]

Good stuff cost money. We eat caviar few times a week. You should know where and what to buy.

[Venturer]

I will settle for a piece of Talapia.

[txhurl]

Do y’all pop each egg individually in your mouth? That’s the height of caviar epicureanism. It’s kinda fun, like monkeying with a pomegranate.
