Has /ck/ ever eaten caviar?

[Anonymous No.13042574]

>>13042566
It’s not available at trader joes or the drive-thru regional fastfood chain so it is obviously a soycuck meme food which exists for the sole purpose of making me feel bad

Only red salmon roe. We always eat a bunch around new years. Not sure how different it is from black caviar though.

A couple of times in Russia and France. When I was younger I didn't like it but now it's quite nice. Wouldn't say it's amazing but its good and nothing quite tastes like it.

[Anonymous No.13042694]

Yes once. It was very good but super expensive. I dont know howto explain the taste, it wasnt like other seafood at all. It wasnt salty but rather deep and intense. Its something about the look and mouthfeel together with the fancy box and the knowledge that your eating something exclusive that makes it feel so special. I wouldnt pay to eat it again but if i was rich..

I had some expensive stuff for free and it was nice. Salty, juice balls. I can't stand seafood though.

[Anonymous No.13042751]

yes even expensive one
ok but very overrated, one of few foods that imo really is 99% a status symbol

I fucking love eating marianted herring roe raw.

[Anonymous No.13044967]

>>13042566
Several times... the country club my family attends would have it on a buffet spread from time to time. The saltier, the better

[Anonymous No.13044979]

>>13042566
yes and only once, it was like eating super concentrated fish juice, had to scrape it off my tongue and almost barfed.

Grew up in Russia, so yes.

Salmon roe is by far my favorite and isn't even prohibitively expensive for a lot of people. I get it every once in a while and eat it on some buttered bread like a real piece of shit.

[Anonymous No.13045110]

>>13042566
yeah it's pretty good in a sandwich with butter

[Anonymous No.13045126]

Yes. You have to eat it with fancy mother of pearl spoons or it fucks up the flavor.

[Anonymous No.13045130]

>>13042566
Yes. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really good either. Like fish flavored pomegranate seeds.

[Anonymous No.13045135]

>>13042566
Yes, sometimes expensive sometimes not, none of them are anything to write home about. It's some kind of social activity like watching the super bowl for 5 hours for a 1 hour match and feeling very dissatisfied afterwards, worse if I paid for it.

never straight caviar but I love getting Taramosalata carp roe spread from the local Eastern European market
It's just amazing but apparently there's a shortage right now and it's getting hard to find

Not Russian I eat all the time (2-3 times a month). But real stuff from Russia just once, it tasted almost like cheap local one.

I eat vegetarian caviar, aka capers. They taste exactly the same. Little salt balls. Much cheaper too.

[Anonymous No.13047223]

Yeah, but not the good stuff.

[Anonymous No.13047330]

>>13045017
how expensive is caviar in russia and other slavic countries? Coulnt info but i was curious if it was more of a common commodity there than the status symbol in other places.

[Anonymous No.13048654]

Back in the day when it was cheap as fuck (200$ for almost half a kilo can).

[Anonymous No.13048666]

>>13047330
In early 00's it was really cheap, now it's quite expensive.

I've had black caviar like that a few times but mostly have had salmon roe and whatever other roe might be served at sushi places.

[Anonymous No.13048691]

>>13042566
Yes I have.
I ate a whole tin with a friend, paired it with some cheese, crackers, wine and chilled vodka. delicious.

[Anonymous No.13049181]

Yeah a couple of times, I liked it with crackers, butter and vodka. Maybe a drop of lime/lemon. It's good but not really worth the price, you can get seaweed "caviar" for cheap that kinda imitates it.

[Anonymous No.13049194]

i eat it while drinking straight vodka from time to time.

[Anonymous No.13049206]

>>13042586
Vastly different, the caviar is more buttery and nutty instead of fishy. I've had plenty of salmon roe sushi and its no where near as good as caviar.

[bruce No.13049207]

>>13045017
As a kid it was pretty pricey and we weren't rich so it was only reserved for special occasions like New Years and birthdays.
>>13047056
I love capers, but they don't taste the same as any caviar I've eaten lol.

[Anonymous No.13049212]

They are selling caviar for 2.99 at the Grocery Outlet. I'm afraid, what should I expect?

[Anonymous No.13049227]

If you're putting the metal box in your mouth you're doing it wrong.

[bruce No.13049246]

>>13049212
Low grade, dyed roe from a cheap fish. It might still taste pretty good, but it's gonna be salty as shit, just a heads up.

[Anonymous No.13049263]

>>13049227
Ivory spoons?

[Anonymous No.13049397]

Had real stuff and stuff they sell in supermarket , not the same things. Real stuff has a buttery taste. Supermarket stuff just tastes like a salt lick.

Yeah i took my girlfriend to Acapulco in the early 2000's and they had this absolutely incredible restaurant called Coyuca 22. Restaurant was straight out of a James Bond movie. Black Caviar was served in crystal bowl filled with crushed ice and some side fixings and a shot of the cleanest vodka i've ever had.

I got cheap stuff from a russian shop and grocery outlet

[Anonymous No.13049549]
