I overate caviar in my childhood. My uncle was a steward with a cruise ship on the Volga and had some sort of cronies in Astrakhan. And we lived on the Volga, too, so he visited us at least once or twice every year bringing a loaf of pressed caviar.

I cannot say that I disliked the taste, but I hated it primarily for huge sums of money that my mom paid for it, 30 rubles or so. For 30 rubles I might add 3 or 4 model cars to my collection! And malossol cucumbers were much cheaper and far tastier to me.

I fancy how much would that loaf cost these days. A fortune!
