Caviar. Stop lying it's gross.

[-] DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

A perk of being of Iranian origin is having tasted actual Persian caviar from Caspian sturgeons. And it's unfortunately very delicious.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Oh so maybe I've just had shitty caviar? My dad was an ambassador and we were always served it when we ate together. The one I remember most vividly was my first and it was at a state dinner in Mongolia, perhaps it's different there. I usually just declined where appropriate after that.

Kalles Kaviar goes on everything.

Best breakfast too

[-] farmgineer@nord.pub 8 points 1 week ago

I eat just about anything that comes out of fish. I think it's fine. Same with salmon roe and stuff. Cod sperm is the one I don't care for (at least raw), but that's a texture thing.

Alton Brown claims his favorite protein source is caviar.

Idk, I like fish eggs on sushi — but straight caviar on a cracker is horrifying to me.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Doesn't the cracker normally have some cheese on it? Like one of the white lumpy cheeses, not like cheddar or provolone.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I think you're thinking of creme fraiche, which is a kind of cream.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe, I thought it was something more like ricotta or cottage cheese, but I haven't been to a fancy enough party to try the stuff. Just remembered a picture.

I think you could use something like ricotta as well, or some kind of cream cheese. I don't really like ricotta so I'm not sure I would, but it definitely isn't unheard of.

I had a sampler of about 8 different roe variants. The salmon roe were the best, like little salty bursts with a mild fishy taste. The flying fish were the worst; texturally like sand.

We used to sell caviar at a store I managed and the caviar guy came around to have the staff taste it for sales purposes. We went through like 3 tins of caviar and it was absolutely fantastic. Delicate, slightly briny, slightly sweet, could've eaten it all day.

I don’t even hate it it’s just like little grainy blobs and it’s ok so I just have a small amount to be polite.

[-] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

I would like to try some before I can say it's overrated. But seing the price, it's probably overrated af.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

You can get some pretty cheap, and that's probably what the poster had. From what I've heard, when it's good it's really good. The cheap stuff though is pretty plain. More of a texture than flavor. It's just little sacks of water basically. The more expensive stuff is more salty with fishy flavors, from what I've heard.
