Default Caviar ?

Just been at the in laws and my wifes cousin and family were over, he works in Moscow and brought some Caviar with him, I personally didn't partake having tried it years ago and thought it was f*cking horrible, little ***** that burst and deposit salty flavoured fish juice in your mouth.

Anyone on here tried it like it, probably a long shot as A: Its disgusting and B: Scoobynet isn't probably the typical Caviar demographic, I know i am not.

I dunno J4CKO, I thought Snet was full of people who eat caviar, drink Cristal and light Cuban cigars with £50 notes....

I however have never partaken. Not really something I think I'm missing out on.

Yep - the wife likes caviar, i dont like it at all.

They served her salmon caviar in Borneo with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast, she would agree with the above post, the salmon caviar in the far east was the best she has tried.

The real stuff from sturgeons is VERY expensive. I love the stuff, I had some top notch stuff in the USSR in the late 80's. However I'm not that fussy, I like all the variants I've tried. Yum!

P.S. I also like anchovies, olives, capers, foie gras, whitebait. About the only thing I really don't like is celery, pears and walnuts that aren't pickled.

Tastes like soap, yuk

Olives are also disgusting and I have tried to like them so many times, my 5 year old love to play the "Close you eyes" game and pop one in my mouth when she and the wife are eating them

Never fancied it myself. I do like herring roe and soft cod roe though.

I have tried Caviar - it's ok. Prefer Fois Gras with a decent Sauterne tbh.

I have not tried it but have had the stuff that looks like it (cod roe). Does caviar taste much different?

To me, yes, but no. It's like asking if duck eggs taste different to chicken eggs. They do, but they still taste of eggs if you see what I mean.

I've had Cavier (the obscenely expensive kind) and I didn't like it at all. I had some on a cracker that worked out at about £20 for that spoonful of salty disgustingness.

Caviar certainly doesn't appeal to me, and Fois Gras is just plain wrong IMO - force feeding a duck of goose so its liver sweels?! Not something that should be found on the menu in civilized (or any) countries IMO.
