I'm craving caviar. Is it a waste of money and gross? What kind should I buy?

I apparently would climb to the counter to eat it when I was a child, around two or three years old.
But children are stupid and eat stuff like dirt. I haven't had any for probably three decades and can't remember what it tastes like, but it's a delicacy so it has to be good, right? |
start out with something cheap... hate to see you start with the $80/oz stuff and hurl it....
its briny with a fishy essence... not strong fishy like sardines but more like mackerel... and it pops like little grapes 
I once observed some sheik or something at the perl du lac knock down about a pound of beluga straight up... the staff looked horrified... "no salad" he would say every time they would try to put the chopped egg and capers on his plate... I like it straight up too with a chaser of belvedere vodka...

Quoted:
For a quick fix go buy the black jar of Romanoff that you can find at just about every grocery store. Its not "real" caviar but it will do in a pinch. They sell a red jar as well, but I prefer the stuff in their black jar. It's the same stuff; lumpfish roe is colorless so they dye it either red or black. Romano also sells cappelin roe, it's smaller in size and I don't care for it as much. I'm a caviar freak, beluga, ossetra, lumpfish, paddlefish, even salmon roe. I like the Romanoff lumpfish roe too. |
