Russian Caviar
#1
O.K., this may sound hokey, but a friend of mine REALLY wants to partake of authentic Russian caviar this New Years..can someone recommend an acceptable quality brand and more importantly a good reliable place to buy from? I'm the alaskan king crab legs sort of guy so I my un-educated palate is in your hands Wink

Black or Red caviar?

Is there a real big difference as far as taste? Seeing as I wouldn't know the subtle difference that I'm sure exist between the two, I guess whichever one is good but least expensive.

Its all good! I love caviar...the red will be quite expensive (Beluga); go with the darker (Sevruga)...do you have a Kings by you Art? They have an OK selection, usually in the Deli area.

However, make an entire spread, Caviar, Vodka, and zakuska (toast, veggies, etc.); great on a cold night!

Somehow, I thought the good Russian caviar was no longer being exported (and Iranian also cannot be had)? Tell me I am wrong, please!

It is two absolutely different kinds.
I like both, but...
Red is solty and fishy Wink Not everybody likes red. It is not very expensive. Half a pound of GOOD red caviar in Russian Deli would be around $15.00-20.00.
GOOD Black caviar is very expensive. According to the statistics - Black Caviar is the most expensive food in the world. Probably one or two (depending on the size and appetiteWink) sandwiches (caviar on the wite bred with butter) would cost $50-70 per sandwich. Go not buy black caviar in US Supermarkets or other stores. It is terrible.

The best black caviar (the most reasonable price :laff) is the picture below. Again, you can find it in Russian Deli (make sure the lead on the jar is blue - color of the lead is quality of the caviar inside).
If your friend never ate caviar, it is better if he tries Black. I doubt he would like red.

Well, I have tried both kinds of caviar, and I assure you, if those seawater taste eggs had been not that expensive, I wouldn´t had eaten them.:p

Just my 2 pesos...
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

The Who, Won't get fooled again

Caviar is great stuff. Doug makes a great point. After a couple evenings of caviar, vodka and zakuska I could swear I was speaking Russian to our Russian hosts!!!
