I've never tasted caviar but I do like anchovies, which are extremely salty and fishy-tasting. If you like anchovies, you will probably like caviar. You don't have to buy the most expensive kind to try it. Some moderately priced varieties should be available in your supermarket. Try it, and then if you like it, you can get the Beluga version for a special occasion. Serve it on trimmed toast points or fairly plain tasting crackers. Regards and Purrs, O J |
