Yes, that's the standard presentation at the moment (but is in fact supposed to be a 20g quenelle, which is in fact similar to many airlines that offer a 20g tin). It used to be a "Petrossian egg" which looked much prettier/classier IMHO indeed but I think that the caviar is still the same. So like you I would prefer individual eggs/tins but to me it still qualifies as 'a proper caviar service' nonetheless.

My main issue (albeit a very very minor point I'll admit!) is that they always put a lemon wedge with it and I feel pretty sorry when lemon touches caviar, it just shouldn't. But then at least they don't put chopped onion with it which is something I have really never understood!
